Jeremy Sarmiento Parents Katty And Lionel Sarmiento, Father Was A Midfielder And Mother Is His Nutrtionist

Jeremy Sarmiento owes his success to his parents, Katty and Lionel Sarmiento. After all, his father knows what it is like to have a footballing dream taken away.

Jeremy almost didn’t make it as a football player in England when his parents decided to head back to their homeland Ecuador in 2009. But destiny had other plans for him.

The journey that began more than a decade ago in Spain has now reached Qatar, where he is representing Ecuador in World Cup 2022. He featured in the match, which saw his country defeat the host Qatar by two goals, scored by his captain Enner Valencia.

But if it weren’t for his father’s shrewd negotiation with his former club Benefica, Jeremy would have probably missed out on the chance to represent his country in the biggest sporting event in the world.

Jeremy Sarmiento Parents Katty And Lionel Sarmiento

Jeremy Sarmiento and his parents, Katty and Lionel, moved to England when he was seven. But before that, the family was pretty well settled in Spain.

Katty and Lionel had already seen much of this world even before their first child, Jeremy, was born in 2002. From New York to Florida and then making their way across the Atlantic, the Ecuadorians now call Brighton their home.

Lionel Sarmiento didn’t want to repeat his father’s mistake. Instead, he encouraged his son to take up the opportunity to become a football player. The belief Lionel had in his son paid off, as Jeremy is now one of the rising names in the footballing scene.

A former footballer, Lionel, and his family were proud when Jeremy opted to represent their homeland rather than the country he was raised in, England. The Ecuadorian player had even represented Three Lions at youth levels.

At 20, Jeremy has already developed an incredible physique. And one person who can take credit for it is his mother, Katty. She is the one to prepare his nutrition chart and make sure he is only eating healthy.

Jeremy’s parents almost returned to Ecuador in 2008 when Jeremy was nine. But after the talented youngster received a spot in Charlton academy, his parents decided to stay in England.

It’s without a doubt that Jeremy has received immense support from his parents in his footballing journey. Today the youngster is paying it back to them.

Jeremy Sarmiento Father Lionel Sarmiento Was A Midfielder

Lionel Sarmiento, the father of Jeremy Sarmiento, is the former midfielder of El Nacional. But unfortunately, he couldn’t give continuity to his football dreams.

But now Lionel lives his dreams through his son. Lionel today works as his son’s agent, a trope pretty common in football during the early days of a player.

Lionel was also the one who relieved his son from what he called a poor deal from the Portugal club, Benefica in 2021. He told the heads of the Portuguese side that they won’t return to the table until and unless their demands would be fulfilled.

Benefica did let go of Jeremy, but before that, the footballer was made to train alone. The facilities were down to none but he did have a passing partner in his father, as the father-son duo trained in the Astroturf park all by themselves.

Lionel was also the engineer of his son’s move to Brighton which saw the family return to the country where it all had begun. Lionel has never backed down from praising his son and says there is nothing that can affect Jeremy now since the ordeal they went through in Portugal.
