society

The son of Lito and Pola Morena took his first football steps in the children's team of the El Faro de Punta Carretas club . He was also active in the local basketball team. Morena began his career in 1968 at Racing Club de Montevideo and only a little later moved to River Plate Montevideo . After scoring a total of 58 goals for River Plate, he received the Premio Charrúa as a discovery of the season in 1972 . On January 25 of the following year, he then signed a contract with Peñarol . He made his debut for the Aurinegros on February 3, 1973 in the game against the Brazilian team of Avaí from Florianópolis . He then scored his first goal for Peñarol at the Copa del Atlántico in the encounter against Boca Juniors four days later. In the following years he played for this club until 1979 and shaped this era. During this time he developed into the most important goalscorer for the black and yellow and was the top scorer of the Uruguayan Primera División six times in a row in 1973, 1974, 1975, 1976, 1977 and 1978 .

After two years in Spain between 1979 and 1981 with Rayo Vallecano and Valencia CF , Morena moved back to Peñarol for the then record transfer fee of 1,029,000 US dollars .

In 1982, the year in which he was the top scorer in the Uruguayan First League for the seventh time, he qualified with Peñarol after four wins in the semi-finals over CR Flamengo from Rio de Janeiro and CA River Plate from Buenos Aires for the finals of the Copa Libertadores against CD Cobreloa from Chile. After a 0-0 win at home, Morena scored the winning goal in the 89th minute of the second leg to make it 1-0 and thus manifested himself as the top scorer of the competition for the third time. In the final of the World Cup in December of that year, he defeated the English European Cup winner Aston Villa FC with Peñarol in Tokyo 2-0.

Morena completed a total of 306 league games in which he scored 267 goals. In international club competitions he participated in 83 games and contributed 41 goals. If you also include amateur games, he played 668 matches.

In the national team, he made his debut on October 27, 1971 in the 3-0 win against Chile and contributed to the victory with one goal. Together with the national team, Morena also took part in the 1974 World Cup. He was also a member of the Uruguayan squad at the 1975 Copa America . In total, he completed up to his last international game on September 4, 1983 54 games for the Celeste, in which he scored 22 goals.

Coaching

After retiring from active sports, Morena worked as a coach and found his first job with his former club, River Plate Montevideo . This was followed by an engagement with Peñarol in 1988. 1996 he was at least in October with River Plates participation in the Copa Conmebol 1996 and thus the first time the club took part in an international club competition again coach with the Montevideans.
