Career edit
After not getting paid by U.S. Savoia 1908, receiving offers from Serie C clubs with unsatisfactory financial conditions, and being disillusioned with the controversies and violence surrounding football, Sbrizzo retired aged 30.[1] In addition, his career was hampered by injuries and he desired to become a coach.[2]
While vacationing as a player, Sbrizzo travelled to the United States and decided to buy a house there. Eventually, he became a coach at the A.C. Milan academy in Miami before returning to Italy.[3]
