Playing career

Club

Born in Rafaela, Santa Fe Province, Schürrer is best known for his eight-year stint in four La Liga clubs (two seasons apiece), most notably with Deportivo de La Coruña, where he helped with 19 league games in the team's 1999–2000 league conquest. In 2004, he moved to Greece with Olympiacos FC, where he also remained two seasons.

After retiring in 2006–07 at the age of almost 36, with Málaga CF, having played only nine matches with the Andalusians in the second division, Schürrer returned to Argentina, serving as a youth coach at Club Atlético Lanús, which he also represented as a player in the early 90s.

International

Schürrer represented the Argentina national team on four occasions, his debut coming in 1995. He was picked for the squad at that year's Copa América, as the national side exited in the quarterfinals against Brazil.

Coaching career

In November 2010, Schürrer was appointed head coach of Lanús' first team, after the departure of Luis Zubeldía.[1]
