Managerial career
[edit]Early career in Syria and Lebanon
[edit]Kwid began his managerial career in 1989 with Maysalon Damascus.[3] He then became the head coach of his hometown club, Al-Karamah U20, leading the team to a youth league title in the 1992–93 season. In 1994–95, he was appointed assistant coach to Anouar Abdul Kader before spending a season in Lebanon with Ahli Sarba. He returned to Al-Karamah as the first-team head coach in 1997, guiding the club to runners-up finishes in both the league and cup competitions in 1998–99.[4]
In 1999, he took charge of Shabab Al Sahel, leading them to the Lebanese Elite Cup and Lebanese FA Cup finals in his first season. He then returned to Al-Karamah, securing another runners-up finish in the 2000–01 season, before making a second stint with Shabab Al Sahel. In 2002, he joined fellow Lebanese club Al-Ahed, finishing as runners-up in both the league and Elite Cup. His first major titles came in the 2003–04 season when he led Al-Ahed to a domestic double, winning the FA Cup and the Federation Cup, while also securing runners-up finishes in the league and Elite Cup.[4]
Kwid took charge of the Lebanon national team for a short period, between 19 and 28 November 2003.[5] On 14 July 2004, he was recalled as manager of Lebanon,[6][7] staying in charge until 2005.[4]

Additionally, he guided the team to the 2006 AFC Champions League final, where they narrowly lost 3–2 on aggregate to Jeonbuk Hyundai Motors.[8] In 2008, he managed the Syrian national team during the third round of World Cup qualification and WAFF Championship.[9]
