José Andrés Guardado Hernández (born 28 September 1986) is a Mexican professional footballer who plays for Dutch club PSV Eindhoven and the Mexico national team. Mainly a midfielder, he can also operate as a left winger or left back.
Popularly known as Principito (Spanish for Little prince), he came through the youth ranks at Atlas, then signed with Deportivo in Spain, going on to remain with the club for several seasons, four in La Liga. In 2012 he joined another team in the country, Valencia.
A Mexican international since 2005, Guardado represented the country in three World Cups, three Gold Cups – winning the 2011 and 2015 editions – and two Copa América tournaments.
Born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Guardado started playing professionally for Club Atlas, joining the team's youth system at the age of only seven and going on to appear in two full Primera División seasons. He made his league debut on 20 August 2005, in a 3–2 home win against C.F. Pachuca.
In the summer of 2006, press speculations linked Guardado to several Serie A teams as well as Real Madrid, but Deportivo de La Coruña moved quickly and made an offer of €7 million for 75% of his rights. Atlas accepted the offer and the transfer was finalized on 7 July 2007, making him the most expensive transfer for a Mexican player in history, and the selling club remained entitled a 25% sell-on-fee as long as it held the remaining 25% of his rights.
