Born in Florencio Varela Partido, Buenos Aires, Díaz started his career with Club Atlético Independiente in 1995. In his first season as a professional, he helped El Diablo Rojo win the South American Supercup in an eventual 2–1 aggregate triumph against Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, and appeared in more than 150 official games with the club during his five-year spell.
In 2000, Díaz moved to Italy and joined Udinese Calcio, only missing three Serie A matches as the team finished in 12th position. In the following four years he played in Spain, representing RCD Mallorca, Levante UD, Albacete Balompié, Ciudad de Murcia and UD Almería, having little overall impact and only totalling 14 La Liga games with the first and the third sides combined.
Díaz returned to his country in 2005, successively representing Club Olimpo, Club Atlético Huracán and Arsenal de Sarandí, winning two major titles with the latter club including the 2007 Copa Sudamericana. He retired from football in 2009 at the age of 33, going on to work as a manager.
