Playing career

Born in Alcorcón, Madrid, Villa finished his graduation with Real Madrid, making his senior debuts with the reserves in 1996–97 season. In 2000 he moved to Racing de Ferrol, also in the "silver category".

In the following six seasons Villa competed in the second level (with the two last being in Segunda División B), representing CD Leganés and Córdoba CF. In 2007 he signed with CD Guadalajara, also in the third level. After only two seasons, despite being a regular starter, Villa signed with CF Trival Valderas, in the fifth level. He retired in 2010, aged 36, due to knee problems.

Manager career

After hanging up his boots Villa was a manager of Trival Valderas' youth squads. A year later, he signed with AD Alcorcón, also being a manager of the youth categories.

In June 2012, Villa was appointed manager of Córdoba CF B, replacing promoted Rafael Berges. He finished the season in second place, but was eliminated in the play-offs by eventual promoted Granada CF.

On 27 June 2013, Villa was appointed Córdoba CF's manager. He was relieved from his duties on 9 February of the following year, due to poor results.
