Career

edit

Sagarzazu played for Excursionistas and River Plate in his youth career.[2] He departed the latter in 2007 to join German Regionalliga Nord side SV Wilhelmshaven.[2][3] He made his debut on 4 March 2007 against Bayer Leverkusen II, before scoring his first goal a week later versus Kickers Emden.[2] The club were relegated at the conclusion of 2006–07.[2] He spent one season in Oberliga Nord, making twenty-seven appearances as SV Wilhelmshaven were promoted back up to tier four.[2] He departed in 2008 after two years and thirty-eight appearances for the Germans, though controversy arose three years later.[4]

Sagarzazu's ex-clubs, Excursionistas and River Plate, filed a lawsuit with FIFA over unpaid bonuses; which his club denied.[4] In 2014, FIFA sided with the aforementioned teams and SV Wilhelmshaven were relegated from the 2013–14 Regionalliga.[4] Two years later, in 2016, the Federal Court of Justice and Oberlandesgericht cleared SV Wilhelmshaven of any wrongdoing.[4][5] After leaving German football in 2008, Sagarzazu subsequently joined San Martín (T).[3] However, despite spending four years with San Martín (T), he never played for them; instead, being loaned out on two occasions.[1][3]

Firstly to Estudiantes, and then to Unión Sunchales.[3] For the two clubs, he featured forty-nine times and scored twice.[3] After leaving San Martín (T), he had spells with Chacarita Juniors, Crucero del Norte, Gimnasia y Esgrima and Guaraní Antonio Franco between 2012 and 2015.[6][7][8] On 6 January 2016, San Martín (SJ) of the Argentine Primera División signed Sagarzazu.[1][9] His debut arrived against Godoy Cruz on 23 April, which was followed by a goal in appearance two versus Atlético Tucumán on 13 May.[1] He played six further matches for San Martín (SJ) before departing ahead of 2017–18.[1]

For the 2017–18 campaign, Sagarzazu spent it in Primera B Nacional with Juventud Unida.[1] One goal in twenty-two games occurred for Sagarzazu, in a season which ended in relegation.[1] On 23 May 2018, Primera B Nacional's Los Andes became Sagarzazu's eleventh senior club.[10]
