Jaime Alberto Rodríguez Jiménez (born 17 January 1959) is a retired football player from El Salvador.
He represented his country at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain.
From a very early age on, Rodríguez showed great skill and talent. After being selected by C.D. Juventud Olímpica Metalio then Alianza F.C., he began a prolific football career, in the process becoming a legend in El Salvador, although not as highly rated as Mágico González.
A defender, Rodríguez played professionally for different clubs around the world. Among these were El Salvador's Alianza F.C., Mexico's Club Léon and F.C. Atlas, and Germany's Bayer Uerdingen (now known as KFC Uerdingen 05). He also played for teams in Japan's NKK, Yokohama Flügels and Finland's KPV scoring 4 goals in 18 games during 1984–1985.
Nicknamed La Chelona, Rodríguez has represented his country in 15 FIFA World Cup qualification matches and played in all three of his country's matches at the 1982 FIFA World Cup in Spain.
His final international game was an April 1991 UNCAF Nations Cup qualification match against Nicaragua.
After retiring from football, Rodríguez started a coaching career at Alianza F.C., but was sacked in 2002. Since then, he has been a strong advocate for improvement in football organisations and programs in El Salvador. He has also been a strong supporter for financial aid to Salvadoran sporting heroes of the past who are in need.
