Christian Eduardo Giménez (born 1 February 1981), also known by his nickname Chaco, is a former professional footballer, commentator, and manager.

At Veracruz, Giménez was joined by a talented squad that included Walter Jiménez, Cuauhtémoc Blanco, Kléber Boas, Braulio Luna and Gustavo Biscayzacú.

The following season, Veracruz lost Blanco and Boas in the transfer window, and new signing Leandro Romagnoli was not performing at top level despite his seven figure salary.

Giménez also saw a drop in production at a personal level, failing to score a goal despite increased play.

Although Gimenez was one of the most important transfers of the season, he was not able to lead Cruz Azul to qualify for the quarter finals, and was only able to score two goals in 16 appearances.

In 2009 Diego Maradona called up Giménez for Argentina's World Cup qualifiers in June against Colombia and Ecuador,[3] but he did not play in any of the two matches.
