Amer coaxed the controversial defender into getting back in Ittihad's training shortly after taking charge of the team over a week ago.
Saied boycotted Ittihad's training two months ago after falling out with former boss Carlos Cabral for lack of first-team opportunities, which negatively affected his fitness.
Now it seems that Amer is willing to give the 31-year-old, once deemed the best player in Egypt, the chance to play more regularly and rediscover his form.
Ittihad lost 3-1 to Ismaili in their first competitive game under Amer, who was appointed following the sacking of Cabral.
The coastal club, who are trying to end their three-match losing run, lie 14th in the League table.
