Iezzo began his career at hometown club Juve Stabia before moving on to play for Scafatese, Avellino, Nocerina, Verona, Calcio Catania and Cagliari. He spent two seasons as the partenopei's number one in Serie C1 and Serie B, helping Napoli earn promotion back into Serie A, also briefly serving as the club's captain.
In 2012, Iezzo resigned as coach of Serie D club Sant'Antonio Abate[1] after getting three consecutive defeats in first three games.[2]
In April 2022, Iezzo returned into management as the new head coach of POFC Botev Vratsa in the Bulgarian First League.[3] In his five games in charge of the club, he achieved two wins, two draws and a defeat, and saved the team from relegation after leading them to defeat Etar Veliko Tarnovo 3–2 in a promotion/relegation playoff.[4]
