Ayoub began playing football for Nejmeh in 1976 aged nine.[2] He made his senior debut in the early-1980s against Tadamon Beirut, scoring the lone goal of the game.[2] Due to limited playing time, he moved to Safa in 1986.[2]

Late career

In 1996, Ayoub moved to Sagesse in a deal worth $100,000.[2] He moved to Olympic Beirut in May 2002;[3] his contract was terminated by mutual consent four months later due to a severe injury.[2] Ayoub finished his playing career at Akhaa Ahli Aley, helping them win the Lebanese Second Division in 2002–03.[2]

International career

Having represented Lebanon internationally at under-20 and under-23 levels, Ayoub played for the senior team in the 1994 and 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifiers.[2][4]

Coaching career

Following his retirement as a player, Ayoub became a coach.[1] He worked in the technical staffs of Nejmeh, Safa and Ahed, and was also part of the Lebanon national team technical staff in 2010.[1] Ayoub also worked as a sports analyst for Qatari TV channel Al Kass,[1] and as a banker for Bank of Beirut.[4]
