Career

Sagarzazu played for Excursionistas and River Plate in his youth career. He departed the latter in 2007 to join German Regionalliga Nord side SV Wilhelmshaven. He made his debut on 4 March 2007 against Bayer Leverkusen II, before scoring his first goal a week later versus Kickers Emden. The club were relegated at the conclusion of 2006–07. He spent one season in Oberliga Nord, making twenty-seven appearances as SV Wilhelmshaven were promoted back up to tier four. He departed in 2008 after two years and thirty-eight appearances for the Germans, though controversy arose three years later.
Sagarzazu's ex-clubs, Excursionistas and River Plate, filed a lawsuit with FIFA over unpaid bonuses; which his club denied. In 2014, FIFA sided with the aforementioned teams and SV Wilhelmshaven were relegated from the 2013–14 Regionalliga. Two years later, in 2016, the Federal Court of Justice and Oberlandesgericht cleared SV Wilhelmshaven of any wrongdoing. After leaving German football in 2008, Sagarzazu subsequently joined San Martín. However, despite spending four years with San Martín, he never played for them; instead, being loaned out on two occasions.
Firstly to Estudiantes, and then to Unión Sunchales. For the two clubs, he featured forty-nine times and scored twice. After leaving San Martín, he had spells with Chacarita Juniors, Crucero del Norte, Gimnasia y Esgrima and Guaraní Antonio Franco between 2012 and 2015. On 6 January 2016, San Martín of the Argentine Primera División signed Sagarzazu. His debut arrived against Godoy Cruz on 23 April, which was followed by a goal in appearance two versus Atlético Tucumán on 13 May. He played six further matches for San Martín before departing ahead of 2017–18.
