He managed clubs in Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador as well as Herediano in Costa Rica.[4][5]

He hails from Rosario. While being a fan of Rosario Central, he started his manager career in Central Córdoba de Rosario in 1989.[2] Ragusa also spent several years managing clubs in Córdoba including Instituto, Talleres and Racing. Among others, he led Talleres to promotion from the 1993–94 Primera B Nacional, but left thereafter due to disagreements with "the leaders".[1]

Taking over Altos Hornos Zapla during the COVID-19 pandemic in Argentina,[6] Ragusa claimed that he was attacked by barras bravas members in the winter of 2021. "Never in my life have they come to press me at my home with knives", Ragusa stated to Channel 4, but he "decided to stay at the club until the tournament was over".[7]
