Ricardo Gutierrez

Coach in Attendance

Assistant coach Ricardo Gutierrez joined head coach Leonard Griffin’s staff at Cal in May 2022, after previously coaching under Griffin at Grand Canyon.

In the 2021 season at GCU, Gutierrez was part of a staff that led the Antelopes to a 15-4-1 record, the WAC regular-season championship and a berth in the NCAA tournament.

Prior to Grand Canyon, Gutierrez worked under Griffin at San Francisco from 2019-2021. While the West Coast Conference preseason poll picked USF to finish last in the spring 2021 season, Griffin and Gutierrez led the Dons to a third-place finish in the WCC.

Gutierrez also worked as the executive director of the Carolina Renegades Soccer Club in 2017. A 2004 graduate of Albertus Magnus College in Connecticut, Gutierrez has coached for more than 20 years and helped several players reach U.S. national team programs.
