Despite his good performances, Torino were relegated to Serie B in 1996, and Rizzitelli agreed for a move to German team FC Bayern Munich, then coached by fellow Italian Giovanni Trapattoni.
In his second season with Bayern, he seldom appeared as a regular starter due to injury and the emergence of Carsten Jancker,[4] but proved to be a more than useful player on the bench, thanks to his quickness that made him skillful and dangerous on the counter-attack.
He scored a total of 11 goals in 45 appearances with the Bavarian team, winning a Bundesliga title in 1997 and a DFB-Pokal (German Cup) in 1998.
Rizzitelli received a total of nine caps with the Italian team between 1988 and 1991, making his debut on 20 February 1988 in a friendly match against USSR, played at Stadio San Nicola, Bari and won 4–1 by the azzurri.
