Saddler became a trainer after he retired as a boxer. Early in his career as a trainer, he worked with boxers in New York City. He trained servicemen aboard the ''SS United States'' and later became the physical director at the National Maritime Union Gym.

			Saddler's cousin, [[Dick Sadler]] (who had only one "d" in his last name), trained [[George Foreman]] from his professional debut in 1969 until he lost to [[Muhammad Ali]] in 1974. Saddler was an assistant trainer, along with [[Archie Moore]].

			Saddler's later years were marked by serious health problems. In 1989, the police found him wandering one night in Brooklyn, his wallet and his glasses lost. He spent seven weeks in Bellevue Hospital Center, where he was found to have dementia and memory loss. Saddler died at the Schervier Nursing Care Center in the Bronx at age 75 on September 18, 2001.
