Uruguayan center-back Gimenez believes Deportivo La Coruña has assembled a strong squad. He will wear the No. 20 jersey and is pleased with the project.

Gimenez was officially unveiled as a Deportivo La Coruña player. The Uruguayan center-back said he was very happy to join the club. "From our first contact, Deportivo conveyed calmness, professionalism, and a clear project vision. That made my decision easier. I am someone who values trust, and there are fewer and fewer trustworthy people in football today. I am very happy and just want to help the team achieve its goals," he explained.

The new Deportivo La Coruña signing is a natural winner and hopes to instil this passion for work and competition in the younger players. "It starts with humility, sacrifice, and hard work. If there's one thing that's always been instilled in me, it's that you achieve nothing without sacrifice. My ambition is to have an excellent season, give our best, and dare to dream big. Why shouldn't we dream? Why shouldn't we be optimistic? Why shouldn't we aim high when we have a squad capable of competing at the highest level?"

Leaving Atletico Madrid was difficult

"It was very difficult. I spent 13 years in Madrid and was with a club I love for so long. But I understand the club's situation. The club needs my help, and because I love it, I wanted to help them. In fact, I knew this moment might come last year. When the opportunity came up, I considered all my options. It's a difficult decision, a new beginning, a new chapter, and we have great expectations for this opportunity. In the end, things unfolded this way," he said.
