José María Gutiérrez Hernández, more commonly known as 'Guti', is the current assistant manager with Besiktas.
He left his role as Castilla's coach to gain more experience at senior level as he plans to become a head coach. He's currently studying for his latest UEFA Coaching license, in Las Rozas, alongside established names such as Eduardo Berizzo, Joaquín Caparrós and Mauricio Pellegrino.
The Spaniard believes his time at Besiktas is helping his progression a lot. "It's going great. I'm working alongside a fantastic coach who has lots of experience under his belt and I'm taking away the positives."
In regards to his future, Guti confessed: "You can't rush these things. I'm happy with my situation. You never know in football, so I can't say that I'm going to stay, but my priority right now is to remain here."
Despite being content at Besiktas, the former Real Madrid midfielder has ambitions of coaching a major club in the future. "That's what I want. If I decided to leave the youth academy at Real Madrid, it was so I could manage a (senior) team as soon as possible."
Guti was also quizzed on the current 'crisis' at Real Madrid. "It's clear things aren't going well. To be honest I'm not following it closely because it clashes with the timetable and travelling with my current team."
Although he still believes Julen Lopetegui is the man to turn the situation around. "He's a great coach and he's going to show that at Real Madrid."

He is happy where he is, as long as they pay him enough so he can drink and spend time with girls every night! 😄 I really wanted to see him as a RM coach, but it seems he don’t like to take such big responsibility, because he already have job without much pressure.

He wanted to leave, I guess he is banking on replacing Lopetegui in the middle of the season... And win another CL like Zidane...come on, they can't keep getting away with this Haha. Hopefully our season doesn't go that bad. But I think he maybe promoted to RM Castilla at some point, atleast that's what most of the RM fans including me hope for.

Was hoping he'd replace Solari. That's what he needs to do, but for some reason, the higher-ups don't want to let Solari go. Guti plays great football, he deserves that Castilla job. Solari still plays forwards out wide even though they're not suited for it at all

Solari has been doing an awful job honestly and with most of the talent from Guti's team going to Castilla, it seems like madness not to make Guti the Castilla coach. Don't understand the politics here honestly.
