Betway officially signed Real Madrid legend Jose María Gutiérrez ‘Guti’ as a new brand ambassador for their Spanish market operations.
A true Spanish football legend, Guti came through the Real Madrid youth academy before making his first-team debut in a 4-1 win over Sevilla at The Bernabéu in December 1995. He went on to represent ‘Los Blancos’ 542 times between 1995 & 2010, scoring 77 goals and helping the club to 15 major trophies. He received his first cap for Spain in May 1999 and went on to represent his country on 13 occasions between 1999 and 2005.
Guti left his beloved Real Madrid in 2010, playing one final season for Turkish side Besiktas, before hanging up his boots in 2012. Post-retirement, coaching positions at Real Madrid and Besiktas led to his appointment as manager of Segunda side Almeria in 2019. Since leaving the club the following year, he has gone on to work in TV punditry, becoming a highly respected figure within the Spanish football media.
“Guti joins Betway as one of the greatest legends in Real Madrid’s recent history. He represents loyalty to the colours, excellence, and the purest talent in world football, making him the perfect ambassador for Betway in Spain,” Ignacio Alonso, Marketing Manager for Betway Spain, said.
“I’m excited to join Betway Spain as an ambassador. My time in elite football showed me that quality and commitment are inseparable; today, I’m proud to represent those values with a market leader and share this path with all of you,” Guti said.
