Manuel Eduardo Berizzo Magnolo (American Spanish: ; born 13 November 1969) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a central defender, and is the manager of Paraguay.
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-European Union 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 Chile national team.
Born in Cruz Alta, Marcos Juárez, Córdoba, Berizzo started his career with Newell's Old Boys in 1988. He helped to two Primera División 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.
