Playing career
Lasarte was born in Montevideo to a Spanish father and an Uruguayan mother, with the former having immigrated from the Basque Country and the latter also having Basque descent.
In his country, he represented Rentistas (two spells), Central Español, Rampla Juniors (two), Club Nacional de Football and Defensor Sporting, winning four major titles with the fourth club including the 1988 Libertadores Cup followed by the Intercontinental Cup.
Abroad, Lasarte played four seasons for Deportivo de La Coruña in Spain. In his third year, he helped the Galicians return to La Liga, appearing in 35 complete matches in the following season as the side finally avoided relegation; he also acted as team captain in several games.
Manager career
Lasarte's career as coach began at the age of 35 with Rampla Juniors, which he led to the second position in the Primera División in the 1996 Clausura.
In the following years he managed several clubs, including Al Wasl FC from the United Arab Emirates in 2002, which he joined with the team in the last position, eventually leading them to fifth. In 2003, he was appointed at Club Atlético River Plate (Montevideo), helping to promotion from the second level in his second season.
Lasarte led his following team, Nacional de Montevideo, to two consecutive national championships. After finishing fifth in the 2006–07 Apertura he did not have his contract renewed, going on to have a very brief spell in Colombia.
After one season with Danubio F.C. in his country, Lasarte returned to the land of his father and signed for Real Sociedad in the second division. In his first season, the team returned to the top flight after an absence of three years. In late August 2010, the manager extended his contract until June 2012.
In 2010–11, Real Sociedad was close to the qualifying positions to the UEFA Europa League late into the first half of the season, but eventually had to wait until the last matchday to be safe from relegation, which eventually happened. On 24 May 2011, however, he was relieved of his duties.
On 15 May 2014, Lasarte was named manager of Club Universidad de Chile.
