Sivori made his debut at River Plate at age 17. In 1957 he was picked up by Juventus, where he helped the Italian squad capture league titles in 1958, 1960 and 1961. He also helped Juventus to two Italian Cup championships, in 1959 and 1960.

The Argentine television network TodosNoticias reported he had pancreatic cancer, but the family reported no further details.
