Manuel 'Manolo' Jiménez Jiménez (born 26 January 1964) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back, and the current manager of Greek club AEK Athens FC.

His career was intimately connected with Sevilla as both a player and manager, and he competed solely in La Liga with the club in the former capacity.

Jiménez represented Spain at the 1990 World Cup.

Jiménez was born in Arahal, Province of Seville. During his career, he played mainly for Sevilla FC which he represented during 14 professional seasons, making his La Liga debuts in 1983–84 by appearing in one match then proceeding to amass nearly 400 overall appearances with his hometown club; he retired in June 1998 at the age of 34, after one year with neighbours Real Jaén in the second division.

Jiménez earned 15 caps for the Spain national team. He made his international debut on 12 October 1988 in a friendly match with Argentina played in Seville, and was selected for the 1990 FIFA World Cup squad, appearing against Uruguay in the group stage (0–0) and against Yugoslavia in the round-of-16.
