Razzotti plays as a defensive midfielder. However, he started playing in Vélez' first team as a central defender under Ricardo La Volpe's coaching. After a brief loan in Peruvian Sporting Cristal he returned to Vélez for the 2009 Clausura. Under Ricardo Gareca's management Razzotti established as a regular as the team's defensive midfielder. His good performances diminished the importance of Leandro Somoza's serious injury which left him out of the field for the entire championship. Razzotti won with Vélez the Torneo Clausura 2009.
Razzotti made his international debut for the Argentina national team on 26 January 2010 as a second half substitute in a 3–2 win in a friendly match against Costa Rica. He was also an unused substitute in a friendly 4–1 victory over Venezuela on March 16, 2011.
