Manolo Eduardo Berizzo (born 13 November 1969 in Cruz Alta, Marcos Juárez, Córdoba) is a retired Argentine football central defender and a current coach.

During his 18-year professional career, he played for six teams in four countries, namely Newell's Old Boys, Club Atlético River Plate and Celta de Vigo. The bearer of an Italian passport, he did not occupy a non-EU spot in any of the clubs he played for in Europe.

Club career

Berizzo started his career with Newell's Old Boys in 1988, helping to two first division titles before his departure to Mexico for Club Atlas, after five seasons.

In 1996, he returned to his country, joining national powerhouse Club Atlético River Plate. His solid performances attracted the attention of French side Olympique de Marseille three years later, but Berizzo did not settle in the club or the country, being loaned to his former team in January 2000.

Berizzo moved to Spain with Celta de Vigo, in another winter transfer move. With the Galicians, he was an important defensive unit, contributing with 17 top division matches in his first year, as the club finished in sixth position; in his second full season, he put up career-bests (at Celta) 27 games with two goals, helping the team reach the UEFA Champions League for the first time in its career.

In the 2003–04 season, Berizzo was sent off four times, twice in the last two rounds, as Celta eventually dropped down a level. He also appeared in five matches in the club's round of 16 run in European competition, eventually losing his importance in the first team, and being released in June 2005, at nearly 36.

Berizzo stayed in Spain and signed a one-year contract with Cádiz CF, appearing scarcely and suffering another topflight relegation. He retired at the end of the season.

International career

Berizzo made his debut for Argentina in the 1998 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Venezuela, on 9 October 1996. He was picked up for the squads for the 1997 Copa América - only playing in the quarterfinal loss to Peru, being sent off after two yellow cards - and the 1999 Copa América, where he was not used.

Berizzo played his last international on 15 November 2000, in the 2002 World Cup qualifier against Chile, appearing seven minutes in a 2–0 away win. He broke his ankle in February 2002, completely ruling him out of the final stages in South Korea and Japan.

After retiring as a player, Berizzo worked with former Argentina manager Marcelo Bielsa, in the Chilean national team.
