As a player, Asad spent all of his career in Vélez Sársfield, winning 8 titles with the club (including both the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup).
Asad is nicknamed el Turco (in English: "the Turk") because he has Syrian and Lebanese ethnicity.[1] In Argentina, Arabs are usually mistakenly called Turks since they came to the country with Ottoman Turkish documents in the 1900s.[2]
