Manuel Eduardo Berizzo Magnolo (born 13 November 1969) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a central defender, and the current coach of Spanish club 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.
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.
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.
