Erick Gutiérrez appointed to Benfica

Mexican international midfielder plays at PSV Eindhoven, a club with which he has one more year of contract and where he is coached by Roger Schmidt, who, by all indications, should take charge of the eagles next season.

Erick Gutiérrez, PSV Eindhoven’s Mexican international, is one of the eagles’ targets for next season. According to the Mexican press, Benfica and Fulham follow the 26-year-old midfielder, who is guided by Roger Schmidt, apparently the next coach for the Reds. The player, who plays in positions 6 and 8, has played 34 games (2440 minutes) this season under the German’s leadership and has just one more year left on his contract with the Dutch.

Recently, in statements to the media of Mexico, he commented on the departure of Roger Schmidt in a curious way. “I hope he takes me wherever he goes. It’s said on social media that he will go to Benfica, but so far he hasn’t told us anything”, said the footballer, who scored one of the goals in the 2-1 victory over Ajax in Dutch Cup final.
