Club career edit
Luzardi was born in Manerbio. After playing for several Italian clubs, such as Brescia, Prato, Lazio, and Napoli in 1996, Luzardi joined Tottenham Hotspur on a six-week trial from Brescia, but was only allowed to play in friendly matches.[1] Gerry Francis, the Spurs manager at the time, ultimately decided not to meet his £600,000 valuation, and Luzardi returned to Italy.
International career edit
At international level, Luzardi was a member of the Italy national under-21 football team that won the 1992 UEFA European Under-21 Football Championship; he also represented Italy at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
