César Jiménez Jiménez (born 24 November 1977), known simply as César, is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a central defender.

He played almost exclusively with Real Zaragoza, in a career marred by injuries.[1]

Football career

Born in Ávila, Castile and León, César was brought up through the Real Madrid youth ranks, and played his first professional season with the C-team in Segunda División B. In October 1998 he moved to Real Zaragoza, but represented mainly the reserves in his beginnings.

In 2000–01's 18th round, César made his La Liga debut in a 4–2 home win against CA Osasuna, and scored in the game.[2] After the Aragonese's relegation in the following campaign, he served a two-year loan at Segunda División club UD Almería.

César's Zaragoza career was blighted by injuries, as he only amassed 17 competitive appearances in five seasons combined. In a January 2005 match against Real Madrid, a tough challenge by Luís Figo would all but mean his untimely retirement,[3] completed in March 2007.[4]
