Zaragoza has hired former Sevilla coach Manolo Jimenez to lead the bottom table Spanish club for the remainder of the season.
The 47-year-old Jimenez replaces Javier Aguirre, who was fired Friday on the back of a run of 11 games without a victory in all competitions, including five straight league losses.
Jimenez, a former Sevilla player who coached the Andalucian club for nearly three seasons, led AEK Athens to the Greek Cup last season.
Zaragoza is last in the Spanish league, five points behind 17th-place Villarreal and safety.
