Manuel Eduardo Berizzo (born 13 November 1969) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Celta de Vigo. During his 18-year professional career he played for six teams in four countries, mainly Newell's Old Boys, River Plate and Celta. The bearer of an Italian passport, he did not occupy a non-EU spot while competing in Europe. Berizzo represented Argentina in two Copa América tournaments. He started working as a manager in 2007, first as an assistant in the Chilean national team. ==Club career== thumbnail Born in Cruz Alta, Marcos Juárez, Córdoba, Berizzo started his career with Newell's Old Boys in 1988. He helped to two first division titles before his departure to Mexico for Club Atlas, five years later. In 1996 Berizzo returned to his country, joining national powerhouse Club Atlético River Plate. His solid performances eventually attracted the attention of French side Olympique de Marseille, but he 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 La Liga matches in his first year as the club finished in sixth position; in his second full season he registered career-bests (at Celta) 27 games with two goals, helping the side reach the UEFA Champions League for the first time ever. In the 2003–04 campaign 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 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 top flight relegation. He retired at the end of the season. In 2012 Berizzo was appointed head coach at O'Higgins FC, and achieved runner-up honours in his debut season, losing the final against Club Universidad de Chile in a penalty shootout. On 10 December 2013 he led the team to the 2013 Apertura, this being the first title in the club's 58-year history. On 19 May 2014, shortly after winning the Supercopa de Chile against Deportes Iquique, again on penalties, Berizzo returned to Celta but as a manager, replacing FC Barcelona-bound Luis Enrique. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Eduardo Berizzo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
