José María Morr Azuaje (born 12 April 1981) is a Venezuelan football manager and former player who played as a forward. He is the current manager of Deportivo Lara.

Playing career

Born in Acarigua, Morr began his career with Portuguesa FC in 1997. He left the club in 2001 for Llaneros, but returned to his former side in 2002.

Morr subsequently resumed his career in the country's Primera División and Segunda División, representing Unión Lara (two stints), Estudiantes de Mérida, Guaros (two stints), Minervén, Policía de Lara [es], Llaneros, Deportivo Lara and Portuguesa. He retired with the latter in 2010, aged just 29.

Managerial career

Shortly after retiring Morr took up coaching, being in charge of Deportivo Lara's youth sides. In August 2015, he was appointed Rafael Dudamel's assistant in the Venezuela under-20 team.

In April 2016, after Dudamel was appointed in charge of the full side, Morr was again named his assistant. He left the role on 30 August 2018, to take over first division side Estudiantes de Caracas.

Morr left Estudiantes on a mutual agreement on 28 November 2018, and was named in charge of Metropolitanos on 19 December. He led the side to their first-ever title in 2022, and resigned on 11 December 2024.

On 7 January 2025, Morr took over Deportivo Lara in their return to professional football.
