The best coach in Colombian Football

Wilson Jaime Gutierrez Cardona, born on May 5th 1971, is a former soccer player, playing with clubs such as El Condor, La Equidad, but is most known for his acting at Club Independiente Santa Fe and Atletico Huila. His player career finished in 2005 at his 33 years of age. After this he became a coach of Equidad Seguros, Alianza San Salvador, and now is the coach of Club Independiente Santa Fe.

His begginings at Santa Fe weren't good at all. He was eliminated from the final 8 at the Southamerican Club Cup by the hand of the Argentinean club Velez Sarsfield with a polemic penalty kick in the 92nd minute of the 2 leg match. Eventhough they were eliminated Gutierrez was considered a great coach for his performance and was given another year coaching the "cardenal" club. His begginings at the local tournament couldn't be worse.He tied the first match against the local rival "Millonarios F.C." Then he lost the second matcxh against Tolima and then began the denomined "empatitis B" in which he tied 6 matches and the fans were rageous.

 

Interestingly, the winning streak of the  'Cardinal' team , came in the second year classic of the dispute in the ninth round of the tournament, where Santa Fe, playing away in the 3-4 defeat to Millionarios at the Campin, in a match where the beginning he was seen with another face to all red in the capital, achieving a comfortable win, loose and wide. However, the team began to relax for the second part, giving rise to the comeback of rival after defensive errors against which the future would be the second scorer of the tournament, ie Humberto Osorio Botello, which would give power to the party, however the team was able hold the result thus achieving abstinence end of victories had until that entonces.34 from that date, Santa Fe achieve a winning streak of 4 dates back to draw against Atlético Nacional and Once Caldas , which offset by a serious and convincing 5-0 win against Real Cartagena.

 

Santa Fe were the champions in the first semester of 2012 ater a 37 year streak of not achieving any tournament. 

 

Wilson Guttierrez is a Cardenal idol, not only for his achievements as a player but also for all the happiness he has given to the fans as a oach.

 

Gutierrez is currently 3rd in the local tournament and already qualyfied for the final 16 in the Libertadores Cup(the most important tournament for any American team (American is for the clubs playing in the American continent, not the US...)) 

 

Eventhough I'm a Millonarios fan and I love my team I'm very proud for Gutierrez, and there is only one reason why, hes's my cousin and he has always been very close to me.
