Kenner Gutiérrez Cerdas (born 9 June 1989) is a Costa Rican professional footballer who plays for Cartaginés and the Costa Rica national team.

Career[]

He played for Costa Rica at the 2017 Copa Centroamericana and the 2017 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[2] He was named among the standby players for the 2018 FIFA World Cup and was later called up to replace the injured Rónald Matarrita.[3]

On July 1, 2020, after Liga Deportiva Alajuelense failed to win the league for the 13th consecutive time, it was announced that Gutiérrez would not have his contract renewed, after pressure from fans demanding the team let go of long-time players to make room for new ones. [4]
