'''Ángel David Comizzo Leiva''' (born 27 April 1962) is an Argentine [[football (soccer)|football]] manager and former player who played as a [[goalkeeper (football)|goalkeeper]]. He is the current manager of Peruvian club [[Atlético Grau]].

Comizzo was born in [[Reconquista, Santa Fe|Reconquista]], and began his career at [[Talleres de Córdoba|Talleres]] in the [[Primera Division Argentina]]. In 1988, he joined [[Club Atlético River Plate|River Plate]] where he was loaned to [[UANL Tigres]] of [[Mexico]] in 1990&ndash;1991. In 1993, he moved to [[América de Cali]] in [[Colombia]], but after a very poor performance, he returned to Argentina later that year to play for [[Club Atlético Banfield]].

In 1996, he joined [[Club León]] in Mexico, and in 1999 he moved to team [[Monarcas Morelia|Morelia]] in time to be part of a championship club. In 2001 Comizzo returned to River Plate, and in 2003 he joined [[A. M. S. y D. Atlético de Rafaela|Atlético Rafaela]] where he retired from football in 2004.

In September 2009, Angel Comizzo was brought in by [[Carlos Reinoso]] to be his assistant manager for Querétaro FC. Comizzo was a huge part of Reinoso's Leon in 1997 when they lost the final against Cruz Azul in Extra Time with a golden goal.

==World Cup 1990==

When [[Nery Pumpido]] was injured in Argentina's second match at the 1990 World Cup finals, Comizzo was brought into the squad as a replacement. He did not actually play in any of the team's subsequent matches in the tournament.
