Gutiérrez began his career with Unión Española, who sold his contract to Italian side Udinese in 2001.

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.
