José Carlos Nepomuceno Mozer (born 19 September 1960) is a former Brazilian footballer who played as a central defender, and a current coach.
In his career, he was mainly associated with Benfica in Portugal, which he represented in two separate spells. He also played three years with Marseille.
Mozer appeared for Brazil at the 1990 World Cup.
Born in Rio de Janeiro, Mozer starting playing for local Clube de Regatas do Flamengo, which he helped win the Libertadores Cup and the Intercontinental Cup, both in 1981. After well more than 100 official appearances he left for Portugal and S.L. Benfica, being an undisputed starter from the beginning and helping the club to the Primeira Liga in 1988–89, while scoring more than ten overall goals in his first stint; also that season, he partnered compatriot Ricardo Gomes in the heart of the defense.
In 1989, Mozer was sold to Olympique de Marseille for a transfer fee of 25 million francs, with his agent Manuel Barbosa reportedly securing a commission of up to 15%. He faced his former side in the campaign's European Cup semifinals, a 2–2 controversial aggregate exit – again, he rarely missed a game, and helped L'OM to three consecutive Ligue 1 conquests.
