José Manuel Jiménez Sancho, aka Chema (born 9 May 1976 in Pamplona, Navarre), is a Spanish footballer who plays for CD Guijuelo as a right midfielder.
After an unsuccessful stint with Atlético de Madrid (he only played for its B side), Chema signed for Real Valladolid in 1997, going on to amass nearly 300 overall appearances for the Castile and León club. He also played during a good number of matches as an offensive right back.
In 2006–07, Chema helped the club return to the top flight after a three-year absence, appearing in 13 games; he was released in June 2007, joining Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa in the third level, and playing three solid seasons with the Castile and León outfit, being released aged 34, and joining another club in the division, neighbours CD Guijuelo.
