José Manuel Serrano Arenas (born 17 March 1981) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a defender. He is currently assistant manager of Russian Premier League club Rodina Moscow.
Club career
Serrano was born in Seville, Andalusia. After spending four years with local Sevilla FC's reserves, without any first-team appearances, he stayed one season with neighbouring Segunda División side Xerez CD and then switched to Levante UD.[1]
Initially, Serrano played almost exclusively with the reserves in the Segunda División B,[1] making his first-team and La Liga debut aged 25 years and 10 months in a 2–4 home defeat against Sevilla on 28 January 2007.[2] The following campaign, he scored in a 1–5 loss to Valencia CF also at the Estadi Ciutat de València as Levante were already relegated.[3]
For 2008–09, Serrano joined Madrid club Rayo Vallecano, recently returned to the second division, appearing in only 20 league games out of 84 over two years and being released,[1] after which he signed a two-year contract with Cádiz CF, returning to his native region.[4]
On 19 August 2013, the 32-year-old Serrano moved to amateurs CD Alcalá from Tercera División.[5]
