Club career edit

Giménez started with Atlanta, having joined from Deportivo Armenio.[3] He made three appearances off the bench across three seasons to start his career, one in each campaign; he featured as a substitute nine times in the subsequent 2016–17.[2] Midway through that season, Giménez was loaned out to Primera C Metropolitana's Ferrocarril Midland.[2][4] Five goals in twenty matches occurred.[5][6] Back with Atlanta, Giménez played in fourteen fixtures in 2017–18 as well as scoring five - his first against Comunicaciones was followed by goals versus Almirante Brown, San Miguel, Talleres and Defensores de Belgrano.[2]

In July 2019, after promotion to Primera B Nacional with Atlanta, Giménez completed a loan move to Comunicaciones of Primera B Metropolitana.[2] He netted on his home debut versus San Miguel on 17 August.[2] Fourteen further goals were scored by him in 2019–20, which included braces against Fénix, Sacachispas and Argentino.[2] Giménez returned to Atlanta in June 2020, subsequently scoring three goals in eight games against Ferro Carril Oeste, Estudiantes and San Martín in the second tier.[2] On 18 February 2021, Giménez moved up to the Primera División with Central Córdoba; penning a deal until December.[7]

Giménez scored on his top-flight debut during a victory away from home against Atlético Tucumán on 22 February 2021.[2] He followed that up with a goal in both his next two appearances versus San Lorenzo and Banfield respectively.[2]

Giménez represented Argentina's U23s at the 2016 Sait Nagjee Trophy in India.[8][9][10][11]
