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).
With Vélez, Asad won the Argentine Primera División title in 1993 (Clausura), and after that the Copa Libertadores and the Intercontinental Cup, where he was chosen Man of the Match after scoring the second goal against A.C. Milan.
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.
Asad had pressure on him due to the fact that former coach Tomas Boy took the team to the liguilla with a total of 32 points which gave Atlas an advantage in the relegation fight.
Asad team debuted in a 3–3 draw against Club Tijuana, coming back from a 3–1 partial lost, with 2 goals from Vicente Matías Vuoso and Edson Rivera scored the equalizer.
