Osman began his career at Harakat Shabab, before joining Salam Zgharta in 1999.[2] Following his third season at the club, he received offers from German clubs Hamburger SV and 1860 Munich; however, Salam were only willing to sell Osman for a large sum, and the transfers fell through.[2]
In 2002, Osman moved to Olympic Beirut for a then-national record sum of $30,000;[2] he remained at the club when they changed their name to Tripoli.[3] Between 2007 and 2009,[4] Osman played for cross-city rivals Egtmaaey;[5] he joined Salam Zgharta in 2009,[6] with whom he played until 2011.[7][8]
Osman's performances with Salam Zgharta in 1999 caught the attention of the Lebanon national team coach, who called him up for friendly games in preparation for the 2000 AFC Asian Cup.[2]
Osman coached Majd Tripoli,[2] before taking the helm of Lebanese Third Division team Riada Wal Adab in September 2020.[9] He was also coach of youth club Stadium Academy Football (SAF).[10]
In January 2014, Osman was injured by a gunshot wound to the leg due to a traffic-related altercation.[11][12]
