José Mário Crispim (born 16 May 1954), simply known as Zé Mário is a Brazilian former professional footballer and manager who played as a midfielder.[1][2][3]
Appointed as the ideal replacement for Ademir da Guia, Zé Mário was hired by Palmeiras with great expectations. However, without finding space at the club at first, he was negotiated with Botafogo-SP and Santos to gain experience. He returned to Palmeiras in the late 70s where he was state champion. In 1981 at Ponte Preta, he had his great year, being nominated for the Bola de Prata.[4]
For the Brazil under-20 team, he was South American champion in 1974.[5]
After helping with the preparations of the youth categories, he was coach of Botafogo-SP in 1996, in the runner-up campaign of Campeonato Brasileiro Série C.[6] Zé Mário had two more spells at Botafogo, in 2001 and 2004. In 2012 he was the club's football director.[7]
