Antonio Jiménez Sistachs (born 12 October 1970), sometimes known just as Toni, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a goalkeeper, and the current goalkeeping coach for Tottenham Hotspur.
He appeared in 236 La Liga games over the course of nine seasons, seven of those spent with Espanyol. He also represented in the competition Rayo Vallecano and Atlético Madrid.
Toni helped Spain win the gold medal at the 1992 Summer Olympics.
Born in La Garriga, Barcelona, Catalonia, Jiménez had a stint with local giants FC Barcelona's third team to kickstart his senior career. He made his professional debut with neighbours UE Figueres on loan, being backup then first-choice for two Segunda División seasons.
In 1992, Jiménez moved to Rayo Vallecano after terminating his previous contract with Real Zaragoza. Initially a backup to Wilfred Agbonavbare, he benefitted from an injury to the Nigerian in the second round to make his La Liga debut against CD Logroñés, although he finished the campaign on the bench again.
The following year, Jiménez accompanied coach José Antonio Camacho to RCD Espanyol, then in the second level. He was an undisputed starter during his spell at the club, winning the Ricardo Zamora Trophy in his first season, qualifying for the UEFA Cup immediately afterwards and amassing nearly 300 overall official appearances.
