José de Jesús del Muro López (30 November 1937 – 4 October 2022)[2] was a Mexican football coach and player.

During his career he played as a defender for Atlas (1954–1965), Veracruz (1965), Cruz Azul (1966 and 1971) and Toluca (1969 and 1973).

In 1958 he became a member of the Mexico national team, and went on to three FIFA World Cup tournaments: 1958, 1962, and 1966, appearing in seven final tournament matches[3] as well as two qualification matches. His 40th and last international match was in 1968.

Del Muro retired in 1973 and became a coach, managing Toluca (1972–1973), Pachuca (1973), Jalisco (1974–75) and Cruz Azul, coaching the latter for the last time in 1997. He was an assistant coach for Mexico national team at 1978 World Cup, and coach of the FIFA U-20 World Cup (FIFA World Youth Championship) (1977–78 and 1980), the Mexico U17 (1987–88 and 1995–97) and the U20 national teams (1984–86, 1995 and 1998–2000).
