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]

Zamalek

[edit | edit source]

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 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]
