After retiring as a player, he became a coach at Alloa Athletic and then Falkirk, assisting Alex Totten. Abel was appointed Falkirk manager in November 1983, after Totten left the club to become assistant manager of Rangers.

After leaving Dunfermline, Abel became assistant manager of Forfar Athletic. Later that year, Abel was appointed manager of Alloa Athletic. The club won a promotion under his management and reached the quarter-finals of the 1988–89 Scottish Cup.
