season, he won the Goal of the Month competition for October with a volley against Liverpool; he added a hat-trick in the FA Cup quarter-final at Manchester City, helping his team to a 4–2 win. Spain national team manager Javier Clemente made a rare foreign trip to monitor him, but he never earned a cap. During his time in England, Nayim was accused by the press of diving; a feign against Oxford United earned a rebuke from the usually reserved television commentator Trevor Brooking. He was dissuaded from continuing to simulate by Venables, who told him that the practice was reviled in England. Zaragoza In May 1993, Nayim signed for Real Zaragoza for £500,000. His most notable moment in football came in the final seconds of extra time in the 1995 UEFA Cup Winners' Cup Final by lobbing David Seaman from 45 yards to score a last-minute goal and win it 2–1 against Arsenal; nearly two decades later, he told UEFA's website that the strike was premeditated as his experience in England had taught him that the Gunners played a high defensive line. Later years Nayim retired in 2000, after a stint with Spanish Segunda División side CD Logroñés. He took up coaching afterwards, managing Atlético Ceuta and serving as assistant to AD Ceuta; in late 2009, he joined former Zaragoza teammate José Aurelio Gay's coaching staff, being named his assistant manager after Marcelino García Toral's sacking. Nayim returned to his hometown in May 2016, to become sporting director at AD Ceuta FC. Personal life Nayim, a Muslim, was the only player of the Islamic faith to compete in the inaugural Premier League season. The eldest of his three children, Youssef, pursued a football career in the same position. In 2006, the Aragonese village of Trasmoz named a street 'Gol de Nayim' ('Nayim's Goal').
