Coaching Career
On 2 January 2010 Godoy Cruz hired Asad as coach to replace Enzo Trossero. The former forward only had coaching experience with Vélez' youth divisions and reserve team. During his first season with Godoy Cruz (2010 Clausura), Asad led the team to a surprising 3rd place finish; and led them to a 5th place the following championship (2010 Apertura). Due to the good league finishes, Godoy Cruz qualified for the 2011 Copa Libertadores; however, the coach did not renew his contract with the team, citing economical reasons.
On December 23, 2010, Ecuadorian team Emelec confirmed the signing of Omar Asad to manage the team for the 2011 season.
On May 11, 2011, Argentine team San Lorenzo signed with him to take the manager position from June 20, 2011.

Famous quotes containing the word career:
“It is a great many years since at the outset of my career I had to think seriously what life had to offer that was worth having. I came to the conclusion that the chief good for me was freedom to learn, think, and say what I pleased, when I pleased. I have acted on that conviction... and though strongly, and perhaps wisely, warned that I should probably come to grief, I am entirely satisfied with the results of the line of action I have adopted.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)
