César Jiménez Jiménez (born 28 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]
Born in Ávila, Castile and León, César was brought up through the Real Madrid youth academy, and played his first senior season with the C team in the Segunda División B. In October 1998 he signed for Real Zaragoza, but represented mainly the reserves during his spell at La Romareda. [2] [3]
In 2000–01's 18th round, César made his La Liga debut in a 4–2 home win over CA Osasuna, and scored in the game. [4] After the Aragonese's relegation the following campaign, he served a two-year loan at Segunda División club UD Almería. [5]
César's Zaragoza career was blighted by injuries, as he only totalled 17 competitive appearances in five seasons. [6] In a January 2005 match against Real Madrid, a tough challenge by Luís Figo would all but mean his untimely retirement, [7] completed in March 2007. [8]
