His father, Magomedali Magomedov, served as President of Dagestan between 1987 and 2006. It is his stated ambition as president to consolidate and modernise the republic to counter the threat of Islamic extremism, in particular the attempts made to undermine and terrorise the republic by supporters of the so-called Caucasus Emirate. His resignation was accepted by President Vladimir Putin on 28 January 2013. After that he was appointed Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation. He has the federal state civilian service rank of 1st class Active State Councillor of the Russian Federation.
Magomedsalam Magomedov has an academic background and differs from his predecessors who were Soviet-era Communist Party leaders who adapted to changed circumstances. Prior to the presidency, Magomedsalam Magomedov was elected speaker of Dagestan’s parliament in 2006 for a period of one year.
He speaks Dargin, Russian, and English.
In 2001-2002, Magomedov was vice president of FC Anzhi.
In 2010, Magomedov made the fifth pillar of Islam, the hajj, and met with Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Interior of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia Prince Nayef bin Abdulaziz at the residence of Abdullah of Saudi Arabia.
On 4 December 2010 his brother boarded Dagestan Airlines Flight 372 and was killed along with another passenger after the plane crashed during an emergency landing at Moscow's Domodedovo Airport.
