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 registered 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 top flight relegation. He retired at the end of the season.

“I began my editorial career with the presidency of Mr. Adams, and my principal object was to render his administration all the assistance in my power. I flattered myself with the hope of accompanying him through [his] voyage, and of partaking in a trifling degree, of the glory of the enterprise; but he suddenly tacked about, and I could follow him no longer. I therefore waited for the first opportunity to haul down my sails.”
—William Cobbett (1762–1835)
