Career
He is currently unattached, after last managing JS Kabylie in the Algerian Ligue Professionnelle 1. In 1992, he joined French club AJ Auxerre for an undisclosed fee. In May 1997, Arsenal coach Arsène Wenger tried to buy him along with Swiss center back Murat Yakın in what would have been a "sensational" £7 million deal.
However the deal did not succeed and Saib instead joined Spanish club Valencia for £3 million.
In 1998, he joined English club Tottenham Hotspur, who were fighting to avoid being relegated from the Premier League, for £2.3 million. He helped Tottenham avoid relegation by scoring the sixth goal in their penultimate game of the 1997–1998 season against Wimbledon F.C., which ended 6–2.
