José Carlos Nepomuceno Mozer or just Carlos Mozer (born September 19, 1960 in Rio de Janeiro ) is a former Brazilian soccer player and current coach .

Player career

society

Mozer began his professional career in 1980 in his hometown with the traditional Brazilian club Flamengo Rio de Janeiro . There he was able to win titles early in his career. In 1981 and 1986 the competition for the state championship of Rio de Janeiro was won, in 1982 and 1983 the Brazilian championship . But the two international titles, the Copa Libertadores and the World Cup , were to become the greatest successes in 1981. The final game of the Copa Libertadores against the Chilean representative CD Cobreloa had to be decided in three games. After the first leg went 2-1 in favor of Flamengo, the second leg was lost 0-1. Since there was no away goals rule in South American football at that time, the competition was played in a play-off on November 23, 1981 at the Estadio Centenario . Mozer and his team retained the upper hand 2-0 and the title was won for the first and only time by the red-blacks .

All Flamengo goals, both in the first leg and in the play-off, were scored by Zico . In the last game, Mozer and Marinho formed the winner's center-back duo. In the encounter on December 23, 1981 for the World Cup with the European representative FC Liverpool , the Mozers club prevailed 3-0. Again, he played the full 90 minutes. Due to good performances in the following years, Mozer came into the field of vision of European teams. At the age of 26 he finally moved to Europe after seven years with his home club, where he signed with Benfica Lisbon . The defensive player immediately became a regular here too. With his new club, the defender took part in the 1987/88 European Cup, where the teams FK Partizani Tirana , Aarhus GF , RSC Anderlecht and Steaua Bucharest reached the final against PSV Eindhoven .

In the game on May 25, 1988, in the Neckar Stadium in Stuttgart , Mozer and his team had to be beaten 5-6 on penalties. After he scored 5: 5 and also defeated opponent Anton Janssen Benfica goalkeeper Silvino Louro , Mozer's team member António Veloso missed the decisive penalty. In his second year in Portugal, Benfica won the SuperLiga . Together with compatriot Ricardo Gomes , who came before the season , Mozer formed a defensive duo that was difficult to overcome. In addition, the team reached the final of the Taça de Portugal , but failed at Belenenses Lisbon with 1: 2.

In 1989 Mozer moved to France to Olympique Marseille . In the following three seasons they dominated Ligue 1 and secured the championship title three times in a row. With Marseille, the central defender reached the final of the European Cup for the second time since 1988 . The opponent this time was Red Star Belgrade . Again there was a penalty shoot-out and Mozer's team failed again. Although he was able to reduce it to 3: 4, Manuel Amoros was the first Marseille shooter to miss and the Belgrade team converted all of their penalties. After another year he left the French and moved back to Portugal, to his old employer Benfica. Again he immediately fought for the regular place in the defense center and was a great support in the league win in 1994. The team won the Taça de Portugal last year . After three years he decided on a final transfer and went to the Kashima Antlers in Japan in 1995 , where he should end his career. Finally, he won the J. League with the team for the first time in the club's history in 1996.

National team

Mozer made his debut in the Brazilian national team in 1983 and took part in the Copa America that same year , where Brazil were runner-up. Because of an injury, he missed the 1986 World Cup in Mexico. Four years later, however, he was appointed to the squad for the 1990 World Cup in Italy by coach Sebastião Lazaroni . There he came to two inserts in the preliminary round. After two yellow cards, Mozer was blocked for the third group game. Mozer was not used in the last 16 defeat against Argentina .

After the active career

After his career as a professional footballer, Mozer worked as a commentator for sports television in Portugal.

Coaching career

Ten years after his active career, the former defender entered the coaching business. On October 24, 2006 it was announced that he will take over the head of the Angolan club Inter Luanda . There Mozer signed a two-year contract. In 2007 he won the first championship title with Inter, the Girabola . In April 2008, after losing to Zamalek SC from Egypt in the CAF Champions League , he was fired from the club. Before that he was able to win the Angolan Supercup. On July 6th, 2009 he took over the coaching position at Raja Casablanca from Morocco. After a year he was replaced by Henri Michel . After that he was head coach at Naval 1º de Maio (01 / 11-06 / 11) and Portimonense SC (11 / 11-06 / 12) for only a few months .
