In 2010, Salem made his debut at the highest level when he coached the ABC Amsterdam team in the Dutch Basketball League. He managed to lead the team to the playoffs. In October 2011, Salem was presented as the new coach of Donar, then named GasTerra Flames for sponsorship reasons.[2] He signed a two-year contract, however, he was fired in December 2012 due to disappointing results.[3]
