Diego Guti�rrez is a retired Colombian American soccer player, who spent his career between Chicago Fire and Kansas City Wizards, both of Major League Soccer, and is currently a television commentator for Sporting Kansas City and Fox Sports 1. Born in Colombia, Guti�rrez was part of that country's youth teams. He came to the United States to attend the University of Evansville and Rockhurst College. He was a 1994 First Team NAIA All American at Rockhurst. The then-Kansas City Wiz selected Guti�rrez in the second round of the 1996 MLS College Draft. Guti�rrez spent two seasons in Kansas City, but missed all of 1997 with an ACL injury. Guti�rrez's career took off after he was taken by the Chicago Fire in the 1997 MLS Expansion Draft. He helped the expansion club to the 1998 MLS Cup and US Open Cup double, scoring his first goal as a professional in the 2-0 MLS Cup win over D.C. United. Usually a left back, but equally adept at both defense and midfield, he spent four seasons in Chicago, winning a second Open Cup in 2000. Prior to the 2002 season, Guti�rrez was re-acquired by Kansas City, winning his third Open Cup in 2004.
