[11] [12] He was the first foreign manager to win the latter tournament since fellow Dutchman Co Adriaanse of Porto in 2006. [13] He left Sporting on 3 September 2019. [14]

On 13 October 2019, Keizer returned to Al Jazira on a two-year contract, after compatriot Jurgen Streppel left the Abu Dhabi-based club.

[16] Keizer would enter 2022 with a successful 5–3 victory on penalty shootout against Shabab Al Ahli and clinching Al Jazira their first super cup title. [17]
