Manolo Jimenez, the Spanish coach who led AEK to its first championship title in 24 years last season, has signed a contract to return for a third stint at the Athenian football club.
Jimenez, who is expected to sign an 18-month contract, will replace Marios Ouzounidis who resigned earlier on Tuesday after racking up a series of disappointing results.
AEK failed to maintain the form it displayed last season, languishing in third place in the Greek SuperLeague and finishing its short-lived Champions League campaign with zero points.
Jimenez, who was sacked by Spanish club Las Palmas in November, will take the reins of AEK for a third time, having helmed the team during the 2010-2011 and 2017-2018 seasons.
