Real Sporting de Gijón has made it official that Borja Jiménez will no longer be the first-team coach once the current season comes to an end. Both parties have reached an amicable agreement to terminate the contract, following a thorough analysis of the sporting situation carried out over the past few weeks.
The Asturian club explained that this decision is considered the most favorable for both the club and the coach. Jiménez, who took charge at El Molinón last October, will thus bring to a close a spell of less than a year in charge of the red-and-white side.
Despite the announcement of his departure, Sporting has reaffirmed its confidence in Borja Jiménez’s day-to-day work for the remainder of the competition. The immediate objective is to face the final stretch of the season with the strongest possible sporting guarantees before the change on the bench takes effect.
From the club’s offices, they wanted to publicly thank the coach from Ávila for the work carried out during these months in charge. Likewise, the board has reaffirmed its full commitment to strengthening the squad with the near future in mind.
The institution’s main challenge remains returning the team to the top tier of Spanish football. With this move, Sporting is looking to begin a new sporting plan that will allow it to meet its fans’ expectations and regain lost ground in the standings.
