In 2005, he was a contestant on Big Brother México in its third season.[2][3]

Managerial career

Mora started his coaching career in 2011 with Tijuana Reserves in the Mexican lower divisions, before becoming manager of Atlético Chiapas in 2014. Between 2012 and 2015, he also served as an assistant coach at various Mexican clubs, including Querétaro, Atlante and Cafetaleros de Tapachula.[4]

In December 2015, Mora was appointed manager of JDT II, the reserve team of Johor Darul Ta'zim (JDT), for the 2016 season.[5] In January 2017, Mora took the vacant manager position of the main JDT team after Mario Gómez left the club.[6] With JDT, he won the Malaysian Super League title in 2021.

In April 2022, JDT, managed by Mora, became the first Malaysian team to reach the round of 16 of the AFC Champions League after defeating Ulsan Hyundai 2–1 at Sultan Ibrahim Stadium.[7] He resigned as manager on 27 July 2022 for personal reasons.[8]

On 6 October 2022, Mora returned to Mexico and became the manager of Liga MX side Atlas, replacing Diego Cocca.[9] On 30 October 2023, Mora was dismissed from his position following a series of poor results.[10]

On 4 June 2024, Mora was appointed head coach for York United FC of the Canadian Premier League.[11] He helped the club reach a club record in points that season and was nominated for the league's Coach of the Year award, but departed the club by mutual consent at the end of the season.[12][13]

In December 2024, he was named as manager of Querétaro in Liga MX.[14] He was relieved of his duties on 14 November 2025.[15]
