Jimenez was sacked from his job at Sevilla in March.
He told the Scottish Sun: “I’d love to coach Celtic because they are the Real Madrid or Barcelona of Scotland with the biggest support.
“I was manager of the Sevilla B team when Celtic fans invaded Seville for the Uefa Cup final against Porto. Seville welcomed the Celtic fans and they will always be remembered.
“Jock Wallace was my manager at Sevilla when I played there alongside Ted McMinn. And, of course, I was manager of Sevilla when we beat Rangers in the Champions League.
“I’ve also been learning English for the last three months – an hour a day – and my teacher is actually a Scottish man called Ally.
“It’s funny how I’ve a few Scottish connections. Maybe God is telling me I will be the next Celtic manager, which is something I would love.”
