Template:Short description Template:Use dmy dates Template:Family name hatnote Template:Infobox football biography José Ángel Crespo Rincón (born 9 February 1987) is a Spanish retired professional footballer. Mainly a central defender, he could also play as a full-back.

He made 74 La Liga appearances for Sevilla, Racing de Santander, Córdoba and Rayo Vallecano, and also had brief spells in Serie A with Bologna and the Premier League with Aston Villa. He won a Super League and four cups with Greece's PAOK.

Club career

Sevilla

Crespo was born in Lora del Río, Andalusia.[1] A product of Sevilla FC's youth system, he made his first-team debut on 14 December 2005 in the group stage of the UEFA Cup, playing the full 90 minutes of a 1–1 draw at Bolton Wanderers;[2] this was his only appearance of their victorious campaign. He made his La Liga bow a week later in a 1–0 away defeat against Getafe CF,[3] appearing in two more games during the season while still registered with the reserves.[4][5][6]

In the 2007–08 campaign, with Antonio Puerta's (who played mostly as left-back) death, Crespo was definitely promoted to the main squad. In December 2008, Aston Villa reportedly showed interest in signing him after several good performances under coach Manolo Jiménez, also his coach at Sevilla Atlético.[7]

On 3 July 2009, Crespo was loaned to fellow top-division club Racing de Santander in a season-long move.[8] After appearing sparingly during his stint, with the Cantabrians narrowly avoiding relegation, he was released by Sevilla and joined Calcio Padova in Italy.[9]

Bologna

Crespo moved to Bologna FC 1909 on 14 July 2011, alongside Padova teammates Federico Agliardi and Daniele Vantaggiato.[10] Having been rarely played, he was loaned to Hellas Verona FC and Córdoba CF,[11] signing a two-year permanent contract with the latter on 27 April 2015, with the deal being made effective in July.[12]

During his spell with the Stadio Renato Dall'Ara-based side, Crespo made his debut in Serie A on 21 December 2011, playing the entire 0–2 home loss against AS Roma.[13] He scored his only goal in the competition on 27 October 2013, to help the hosts defeat AS Livorno Calcio 1–0.[14]

Aston Villa

On 27 July 2015, Aston Villa completed the signing of Crespo from Córdoba on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee.[15][16] He made his only appearance in the Premier League on 3 October, starting in a 0–1 home defeat to Stoke City.[17]

Having made only one more appearance in the Football League Cup, Crespo joined Rayo Vallecano on 20 January 2016, on a six-month loan.[18]

PAOK

In early July 2016, Crespo signed a three-year contract with PAOK FC, for a nominal fee.[19][20] In one of his first games on 18 August, he scored in a 3–0 win at FC Dinamo Tbilisi to make the Europa League group stage.[21] His first season in Thessaloniki ended with a Cup victory, as a 2–1 victory over AEK Athens F.C. ended 14 years of drought.[22]

Crespo scored his first goal in the Super League Greece on 2 December 2017, in a 3–0 away win against Xanthi FC.[23] The following campaign, PAOK won the double to end 35 years without a league title.[24] A fourth cup conquest in 2021 made him the most successful player in the club's history.[25]
