Fernando Quirarte Gutiérrez (born 17 May 1956) is a Mexican former professional footballer and manager.
He played as a centre-back for the club Guadalajara from 1973 to 1987 and the Mexico national team, earning 45 caps and scoring 5 goals, including two in the 1986 FIFA World Cup.[1][2][3]
Later he was the coach of Santos Laguna, Atlas, and Jaguares.
On October 4, 2011, Mexican club Chivas of Guadalajara had demoted coach Jose Luis Real and replaced him with Fernando Quirarte. The change came after Chivas lost 1–0 to Querétaro over the weekend, which extended the club's winless run to four in Mexico's Apertura championship.
