José Luis Brown (born 10 November 1956) is an Argentine retired footballer who played as a central defender, and a current coach.
Most of his 14-year professional career was spent with Estudiantes, for which he appeared in more than 300 official games and won two major titles. He also competed professionally in Colombia, France and Spain.
Nicknamed Tata, Brown represented the Argentine national team at the 1986 World Cup and three Copa América tournaments, winning the former. In 1995, he began working as a manager.
Born in Ranchos, Buenos Aires, Brown was a descendant of Scotsman James Brown who emigrated from Greenock in 1825. He played his first years as a senior with Estudiantes de La Plata, scoring an astonishing 17 goals in 69 games combined as the club won the Metropolitano and Nacional in the 1982 and 1983 editions of the Primera División, respectively.
After two years in Colombia with Atlético Nacional, Brown played in quick succession for Boca Juniors and Deportivo Español back in his homeland, moving abroad again in 1986 after signing with Ligue 1 side Stade Brestois 29. The following year he joined Spain's Real Murcia on a two-year contract, making his La Liga debut on 30 August 1987 in a 0–1 away loss against CA Osasuna.
