Post-playing career On 8 January 2008, Vryzas was officially appointed as the Technical Director of PAOK FC. He joined the club's board along with former team-mate and current chairman of the club, Theodoros Zagorakis. During his first steps in his new career he succeeded in bringing to PAOK Pablo Contreras, Zlatan Muslimović, Vieirinha, Lino and Pablo Garcia in 2008.

On 9 October 2009, Vryzas was appointed PAOK FC Chairman, following Zagorakis resignation for personal reasons. On 11 August 2010, Vryzas resigned from the position of director of football from PAOK FC. Five days later, he became a colleague of Fernando Santos, the head coach of Greece national football team. In 2012 he returned to PAOK FC as president and from the summer of 2014 he became Technical Director. Zisis Vryzas is a misunderstanding figure in the history of the club. On 2010 PAOK FC were on the verge of economic collapse. There was also the scenario of the collapse of the Association in lower categories, under the weight of debts. With smart moves created a low budget team coached by Giorgos Donis, which could cope economically keeping the prestige of the club up after playing in European competitions, namely the UEFA Europa League. Somewhere in mid summer of 2012, and while he had erected a Greek-Russian namely Ivan Savvides entered the club. What happened was considered as a movement from God, after Savvides had several million euro in his pocket and intended to combine its presence in Greece with sporting activities and in particular with PAOK FC. Nevertheless, Vryzas, managed and made smart moves by bringing all these years from different positions (President, Technical Director) international players who became a major asset for the club. On 18 February 2015, few days after the heavy defeat from Atromitos, Zisis Vryzas was made available by Ivan Savvides his resignation from the post of technical director of PAOK. However, formal notice to terminate the cooperation did not exist. However, some time ago it became known through information that the club has completed all the nominal procedures for his withdrawal from the Board
