After he retired in 1982, Zizo was immediately appointed football director for Al-Ahly, winning the CAF Champions League in 1982.
He worked as an assistant manager to Mahmoud El-Gohary for the Egypt first team in the early 1990s. He won the 1992 Arab Nations Cup in Syria with the team. Zizo also coached the Egypt Olympic team in 1999.
