La Liga Manager Hints at Summer Exit
Borja Jimenez Contemplates Departure from Leganes
Leganes manager Borja Jimenez has dropped a bombshell by hinting that he may leave the club this summer, just as the team enters a crucial phase with only four games remaining in the season. This revelation comes as the team faces a must-win match against Espanyol on Sunday, with a mere four points separating them from safety.
Despite facing financial constraints with one of the lowest salary limits and budgets in La Liga, Los Pepineros have fought valiantly to maintain their position in the league this season. Jimenez, who took over two summers ago, led Leganes to an unexpected Segunda championship, showcasing his managerial prowess.
Borja Jimenez Drops Hints About His Future
With his contract set to expire at the end of the season, Jimenez has cast doubts on his continuity at Leganes by suggesting that he may not be with the team next season. When questioned about his future, Jimenez expressed uncertainty, stating, “Given the dates, I don’t think so, but I don’t know.”
He emphasized the importance of focusing on Leganes’ current situation and maintaining the team, indicating that discussions about the future will take place later. With his contract expiration looming and no negotiations initiated, Jimenez’s departure seems more like a possibility than a certainty.
Leganes’ Remarkable Season of Upsets
Despite their desperate need for victories, Leganes has demonstrated their ability to compete with the top teams this season. In challenging matches against Real Madrid, Leganes narrowly lost 3-2 twice, and they have secured memorable victories against Barcelona and Atletico Madrid, showcasing their giant-killing spirit.
Remaining Fixtures for Leganes
Following their clash with Espanyol, Leganes will face Champions League hopefuls Villarreal, before taking on direct rivals Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, and concluding the season against relegated Real Valladolid at Butarque. With winnable games ahead, Los Pepineros remain optimistic about securing positive results, although the impact of Jimenez’s potential departure remains uncertain.
