From 1992 to 1995 he was in charge of many small local sides in Ecuador, until he began to coach the youth ranks of Club Deportivo ESPOLI of Quito in 1996.

Failing to qualify for the 2007 U-17 World Cup, he made up for it by giving Ecuador their first title in their footballing history: they defeated Jamaica in the final of the 2007 Pan American Games to win the gold medal.

He was appointed interim coach of the Ecuador national team on November 18, 2007 following Luis Fernando Suarez's irrevocable decision to resign.

But, on February 12, 2011, Vizuete qualified Ecuador's U-20 national team to the Fifa U-20 World cup in Colombia this summer.

In April 2012, Vizuete was named the manager of Ecuadorian-club El Nacional after the departure of Mario Saralegui the day before.
