Playing career

Ziziļevs started his career at his local club DJSS Daugavpils in the early 1990s. Until 2000 he played in his hometown, but then got an offer from Russian Premier League club Rubin Kazan. After two seasons in Russia Ziziļevs came back to Daugavpils and joined its local club Dinaburg FC. After a few seasons in Latvia Ziziļevs moved back to Russia, where he played for Metallurg Lipetsk and later also Luch-Energiya Vladivostok. Afterwards Ziziļevs came back to Dinaburg FC once more and after a very successful season he joined FK Ventspils, where playing for 3 seasons, he helped the club win the Latvian Higher League in 2006. In 2010 Ziziļevs joined FC Daugava. In 2012, as the club's captain, he helped Daugava win the Latvian Higher League for the first time in the club's history. In 2013 they also lifted the first ever Latvian Supercup. On 6 April 2013 Ziziļevs played his 400th game in the Latvian Higher League and was locally referred to as the Latvian Ryan Giggs. In March 2014, when his contract with Daugava had expired, Ziziļevs moved to the Lithuanian A Lyga side FK Klaipėdos Granitas to continue his professional footballer's career, at the time being 40 years old.
