The former Ahli star agreed terms with the Cement board in a meeting late on Saturday meeting in the presence of secretary general Hussein Mugawer and football director Alaa Hammad.

Zizo is likely to sign a one-year-deal, and the details of the move should be announced by the Suez-based club in the upcoming few days.

Cement's former coach Amer will be heading to Asyut Petroleum after agreeing terms with the recently-relegated club, as current Asyut coach Anwar Salama will be coaching ENPPI.

Zizo spent the past season in charge of Ittihad Jeddah’s youth academy , but he rejected a further stay with the Saudi club, in favor of the lead role with Cement.

Suez Cement finished the Egyptian Premier League in 11th place with 33 points.
