The Mexican coach Raúl “Potro” Gutiérrez has renewed its contract with Real España , the team with which he was runner-up in the last Honduran tournament, the club reported on Monday.
Real Spain indicated in a message on Twitter that Gutiérrez will remain with the team for at least the next two seasons. “ We have reached an agreement for the renewal of the contract for 1 year with our Technical Director Raúl ‘el Potro’ Gutiérrez “, said the club.
🇲🇽 🤝🏻 Raúl Gutiérrez was renewed by Real España, he will be in charge of the machine for 1 more year.
In my opinion, it is good idea to give it continuity. The process was good, a final was reached when practically a year ago nobody gave anything for Spain.
To be trusted. 🤞🏻 pic.twitter.com/PoaBT01 gtd
