Juan Ignacio Martínez Jiménez (Spanish pronunciation: [xwaniɣˈnaθjo maɾˈtineθ xiˈmeneθ]; born 23 June 1964) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a left back.
Playing career
Martínez was born in Rabasa, Alicante. After playing youth football for both Alicante CF and Elche CF he competed only at amateur level during his career, never in higher than the third division. He played for Elche CF Ilicitano, CD Benicarló, UD Melilla – due to his compulsory military service – Alicante, UD Vall de Uxó, UD Almansa and FC Torrevieja.
Martínez ended his career in 1990, at only 26.[1]
Coaching career
Martínez began managing in 1997, his first stop being precisely Alicante. In the following years, he coached several teams in the lower leagues – also working in youth and women's football – his longest spell being three years with AD Mar Menor-San Javier in the fourth level, which he led to two consecutive playoff appearances albeit without any promotion.
In the 2005–06 season, Martínez led FC Cartagena to the first position in division three. He first reached the professionals in the 2007–08 campaign, coaching UD Salamanca to a final seventh place in the second tier.
After another season in the second division, with Albacete Balompié,[2] Martínez returned to Cartagena (freshly returned to that level).[3] He led the Murcian club to the fifth position in his first year, and the 13th in his second.
Affectionately known as "JIM" (his full name's initials), Martínez was appointed at La Liga side Levante UD on 9 June 2011, replacing Getafe CF-bound Luis García.[4] After two draws in the first two rounds he coached the team to seven consecutive wins, including a 1–0 home triumph against Real Madrid[5] which meant they led the league during several rounds.
Martínez also led the Valencians to their first continental competition ever, by finishing sixth in 2011–12.[6] After ranking only 11th in the following season he opted to not renew his contract,[7] and signed a two-year deal with fellow league team Real Valladolid.[8]
On 24 May 2014, after the latter's relegation, Martínez was relieved of his duties.[9] On 11 December he was appointed at the helm of UD Almería, replacing fired Francisco.[10]
On 5 April 2015, Martínez was sacked by the Andalusians after a heavy 1–4 home loss to his previous club Levante.[11]
Personal life
Martínez's cousin, José Bordalás, was also a football coach.[12]
