Playing career

During his career, Jiménez appeared for Sevilla FC during 14 professional seasons. He made his La Liga debuts playing one match in 1983–84, then proceeded to amass nearly 400 overall appearances with his hometown club. He retired after one season with neighbours Real Jaén, in the second level.

Jiménez earned 15 caps for the Spanish national team. He earned his first cap on 12 October 1988, in a friendly match against Argentina, played in Seville. He was selected for the 1990 FIFA World Cup squad, appearing against Uruguay in the group stage (0–0).

Managerial career

Sevilla

During seven seasons, Jiménez was the coach of Sevilla's reserve team, Sevilla Atlético, leading it to the second division in 2006–07. On 27 October 2007, following the resignation of Juande Ramos, he was promoted to manage the first team, initially until the end of the 2007–08 season.[1] He guided the Andalusians to fifth place, and "upgraded" to third in the 2008–09 season, with a subsequent UEFA Champions League return.

On 24 March 2010, following a 1–1 home draw to bottom of the league Xerez CD, Jiménez was sacked by Sevilla. The club had had three draws (all at home) and two losses in the last five league games, and had also suffered Champions League elimination in the round of 16.[2]

AEK Athens

On 7 October 2010, Jiménez took over from sacked Dušan Bajević at AEK Athens FC, agreeing to a two-year deal.[3] Ten days later, he led the team in his first game, a 0–4 win at first division rivals Aris Thessaloniki FC.[4]

After losing in the UEFA Europa League against R.S.C. Anderlecht (0–3, away), Jiménez achieved his second league win, against Panathinaikos FC, but the team finished 21 points behind eventual champions Olympiacos F.C. in the league, but still managing to rank in third position.

On 30 April 2011, Jiménez won his second managerial trophy (the first abroad), after a 3–0 defeat of Atromitos F.C. in the Greek Cup final. On 5 October 2011, he left the club by mutual consent.[5]
