Managerial career
Luzi joined his family-run club FC Chambly as a footballer in 1989, the year it was founded.[2] He became the manager in 2001, taking over the reins from his brother. In 2019, Luzi helped Chambly get promoted into the French Ligue 2.[3] On 1 May 2020, he resigned from his post, stating it was time for the club to look at something else.[4] On 7 May 2020, he reversed his decision, stating he would stay due to the expressions of support from staff, players and supporters.[5] The club was relegated back to Championnat National at the end of the 2020–21 season.
Luzi was dismissed from his post by the club on 2 April 2022, after 3 draws and 6 losses in the previous 9 games, and last place in the Championnat National table. He served 21 years as the head coach.[6]
