Arabia not only tries to depopulate the Spanish and European squads of cracks, but also threatens and begins to manage to hire the best professionals from the clubs. Juan Jose Jimenez, who was head of Sevilla’s medical services and is now a consultant at the Seville club, He will go to Al Hilal, one of the big four in the Saudi League. Al Hilal is the team that tried to sign Lionel Messi until a few weeks ago with a checkbook and who is now trying to recruit the Portuguese Bernardo Silva.
A sports medicine specialist, Juan José already knows what it’s like to work in an exotic league, having played for two teams in China a few years ago, the Guizhou Henfeng Zicheng and Shanghai Greenland Shenhua. He is very loved within the Nervionense entity, where he has worked since 2019 with a small impasse from July to December 2022. He was also at the club from 2007 to 2014. It will be another major loss after Monchi’s recent departure to Aston Villa.
Jiménez is Director of Professional Sports at the Ripoll and De Prado Sport Clinic Fifa Medical Center of Excellence, and also a professor at the San Isidoro University Center in Seville. An authentic eminence that footballers in Arabia have detected and will now enjoy.
