Over the years, Shahzaib has carved a successful playing career, ascending to the highest echelons of Pakistan Football. However, his hunger for the sport led him to explore the realm of coaching.

He is also co-founder of Karachi City FC, a football academy with a specific focus on empowering the youth and women of Karachi. Additionally, Shahzaib serves as the Director of Football at the The Warriors Academy.
Shahzaib's dedication to professional development is evident through his extensive pursuit of coaching qualifications.

These certifications reflect Shahzaib's commitment to excellence and his eagerness to stay abreast of the latest advancements in coaching methodologies.
