In 2006, Gutiérrez returned to his first club in Chile, Unión Española. His ability led to signing with Universidad Católica and being called up to the national team.

Club career

edit

Gutiérrez began his career with Unión Española, who sold his contract to Italian side Udinese in 2001. He was unable to find many opportunities with the Udinese first team, and went on loan to Messina. Gutiérrez returned to Udinese for a year but was again unable to break into the first team. He went out on loan again, to Pescara, then to Sambenedettese, and finally to Grosseto.

Following his spell in Italy, Gutiérrez joined Indios of the Mexican Primera División A. Next, Gutiérrez returned to Chile to play for the club where he began his career, Unión Española, where he enjoyed two good seasons. Following that success, he transferred to Universidad Católica.

International career

Following his good performances in Unión Española, Gutiérrez was selected for Chile U20 for the 1999 South American Championship.[1] He played with the squad in the pre-Olympic Tournament 2000 in Londrina, Brazil, where he helped Chile qualify for the Olympic Games in Sydney in the same year.[2]

At senior level, he made 5 appearances for the national team.[3] In addition, he made an appearance for Chile B in the friendly match against Catalonia on 28 December 2001.[4]
