José Luis Acciari (born 29 November 1978) is an Argentine footballer who plays for Spanish club Real Murcia mainly as a defensive midfielder.

He spent the bulk of his professional career in Spain, mainly with Murcia.

Football career

Argentina

Acciari was born in San Miguel, Buenos Aires. During his career in his country he played mainly in the second division, amassing only six appearances in the top level, with Estudiantes de La Plata.

Acciari represented Club Atlético San Miguel, Club Atlético Banfield and Club Almagro. With the second he unsuccessfully played in the second round of the promotion playoffs, in a final defeat against Club Atlético Los Andes.

Spain

In January 2002 Acciari moved abroad to Spain, signing with Real Murcia in the country's second division. After a period of adjustment he became an undisputed starter for the club which promoted at the end of his first full season, with the player contributing with 38 games and four goals.

After a marred transfer to Deportivo de La Coruña, Acciari played 3,354 minutes in 2004–05, but was severely injured in the left knee late into the following campaign, effectively ending his Murcia career – he could only appear five times in the 2006–07 season, with his team again promoting to La Liga.

Acciari was then loaned to another side in the second level, Córdoba CF, after which Murcia released him – with 172 official appearances – and he signed with Elche CF in the same category, for two years.
