He emphasized his commitment to restoring Emelec's name and ensuring that all decisions made will benefit the club. Jiménez, who is also a former Ecuadorian Minister of Sport, highlighted the importance of bringing stability back to Emelec and not allowing further harm from sports or legal issues.

He stated, "The work we have been doing is focused on making sure that all actions and decisions we take will be for the benefit of the club, and we will not allow Emelec to be affected further from an athletic and legal standpoint."
