Jesús Alejandro Ortiz Parra (born 3 September 1987) is a Venezuelan football manager.

Career

[edit]

Born in Rubio, Táchira, Ortiz began his career with local schools before joining Deportivo Táchira's youth categories. In September 2015, he left the club to join a host of compatriots at Lebanese side Salam Zgharta FC.[1]

Ortiz returned to his home country and Táchira in 2016, later working at Mineros de Guayana before returning to the club again in 2019.[2] On 14 March 2022, he was named manager of Deportivo Lara's youth categories.[3]

On 28 July 2022, Ortiz was named interim manager of Lara, after Eduardo Saragó resigned.[4] On 9 August, he was permanently appointed manager.[5]

On 1 March 2023, as Lara was denied a license to play in the 2022 top tier season, Ortiz replaced Martín Brignani at the helm of Portuguesa.[6] He qualified the club to the 2024 Copa Libertadores, but left by mutual consent on 11 July 2024.[7]
