Career

In the Clausura 2008 tournament, first-choice goalkeeper Óscar Pérez had fallen out of favor with the team due to his lack of consistency, which costed him the starting position.

and Santos only conceded 12 goals in 13 games. Although he debuted for the first team in 2008, he was almost 30 years old and was under Pérez's shadow for five years as he was signed into the club in 2003. Once Perez left the team, he was the alternative for José de Jesús Corona for Cruz Azul as Pérez would go on to play with Necaxa. On May 15 during the 2011 Clausura tournament, Cruz Azul's original starting goalkeeper José de Jesús Corona engaged in a fight during the second leg in the semifinal between Monarcas Morelia and Cruz Azul which got him suspended for violent conduct. As a result, José de Jesús Corona did not play the first six games in the 2011 Apertura season. Gutiérrez took over the starting spot. On 16 December 2015, Gutiérrez signed with Necaxa for a season-long loan deal. Gutiérrez announced his retirement in May 2020.
