Early life and career

Zizo made his Belgian Pro League debut at 29 March 2014 against Waasland-Beveren in a 0–2 away win in the 2013–14 season, he replaced Souleymane Diomandé after 50 minutes.[2] He went onto make 72 appearances and score 49 goals in his first four seasons between 2014 and 2017 with Lierse.[3] In January 2017, Sayed joined Primeira Liga side Nacional on loan, with an option to buy, for the rest of the 2016–17 season.[4]

In January 2019, Zizo returned to Egypt, signing for Zamalek, after one and a half seasons at Moreirense.[5] He achieved with the White Castle the Egyptian Premier League twice in (2020–21, 2021–22), the Egypt Cup in (2018–19, 2020–21, 2024–25), and the Egyptian Super Cup once in (2019–20). On the continental level, Zizo won with Zamalek the CAF Confederation Cup twice in (2018–19, 2023–24), and the CAF Super Cup twice in (2020, 2024).

On 6 June 2025, it was officially announced that Zizo would join Al Ahly on a four-year deal, following the expiration of his contract with Zamalek.[6] He became eligible to compete with Al Ahly in the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. Furious fans of his previous club named him The Hungry (Arabic: الجعان), as he left his home club who actually created his stardom in football,[7] and went for Zamalek’s rival for a higher contract.[8][9]
