Spain Born in
Etruria,
Córdoba of
Italian descent, Bizzarri began his career with
Racing Club de Avellaneda in the
Argentine Primera División, where his good performances drew attention from
La Liga powerhouse
Real Madrid, which signed him in 1999. Unsettled and blocked by the emergence of 18-year-old
Iker Casillas, he battled for second-choice status with
Bodo Illgner, being a used player in the club's
victorious campaign in the
UEFA Champions League. In the summer of 2000, Bizzarri was transferred to
Real Valladolid, eventually becoming the starter. He did not miss one single league game from 2002 to 2004, but his team would be relegated from the top flight in the
latter season. Bizzarri played for
Gimnàstic de Tarragona in
2006–07, in another campaign that ended in top-tier relegation.
Italy In June 2007, Bizzarri signed a two-year deal with Italy's
Catania, a contract that would be renewed at the end of
the season for an equal period. During
2008–09, he became first-choice under new coach
Walter Zenga, after spending most of his debut campaign as a
reserve behind
Ciro Polito. His performances were consistent as the
Sicily side retained their league status, and the player's performances also allowed him to be part of Goal.com's weekly "
Serie A Team of the Week" more than any other goalkeeper in the competition. Despite some stellar performances, Bizzarri admitted towards the end of the season he would not be renewing his link with Catania. Following this announcement, manager Zenga opted to drop him to the bench so young
Tomáš Košický could gain some experience. Bizzarri joined fellow top-flight club
Lazio in June 2009, on a
free transfer. In his first two years, he backed up another South American, Uruguayan
Fernando Muslera, as the Rome team ranked 12th in
the first (he added
four appearances in the
UEFA Europa League, winning two, losing two and conceding seven goals). The 36-year-old Bizzarri moved to
ChievoVerona in summer 2014, renewing his contract for two years at the end of
the season. On 1 July 2016, he signed a one-year deal with
Pescara, which included an automatic one-year renewal in the case of top-division survival. On 16 July 2018, after a
further campaign in the main division with
Udinese, Bizzarri joined
Serie B club
Foggia. In the following
transfer window, he was loaned to
Perugia also of the latter tier until 30 June. ==International career==
