The hiring comes less than six months after he was fired by Sevilla following a run of poor results. Sevilla parted ways with the 48-year-old a month after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer.
Berizzo signed a one-year contract with Athletic Bilbao.
Prior to his brief spell at Sevilla, Berizzo managed Celta Vigo after beginning his coaching career in Argentina.
