José Manuel Ochotorena Santacruz (born 16 January 1961) is a Spanish former footballer who played as a goalkeeper.

He would have to wait until 1985–86 to become a starter, helping the capital side to that year's La Liga and UEFA Cup titles,[1] but lost his spot the following campaign after the signing of Sevilla FC's Francisco Buyo.

Afterwards, Ochotorena moved to Valencia CF, winning the Ricardo Zamora Trophy in his first year, being replaced mere minutes into the last match at Real Madrid which helped him maintain his average.

[8] After retiring, Ochotorena assumed goalkeeping coach duties at both Valencia and the Spain national team.

When his compatriot Rafael Benítez joined Premier League club Liverpool in July 2004, he replaced Joe Corrigan.
