Francisco José Carrasco Hidalgo (born 6 March 1959) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a winger, and a current coach.
Nicknamed Lobo, he played most of his 14-year professional career with Barcelona (eleven seasons), appearing in more than 350 official games and ten winning major titles.
A Spanish international for nine years, Carrasco represented the country at the 1986 World Cup and two European Championships.
Born in Alcoy, Alicante, Valencian Community, Carrasco was a product of the FC Barcelona youth system, and quickly made a name for himself in La Liga and Europe, with a brilliant display of creative dribbling. Having made his debuts with the first team during 1978–79, he also shone in that season's UEFA Cup Winners' Cup final, a 4–3 thriller extra time win against Germany's Fortuna Düsseldorf.
After more than 300 official appearances and nearly 50 league goals scored for the Blaugrana, winning the 1984–85 league title, Carrasco spent three seasons with Ligue 1 club FC Sochaux-Montbéliard, retiring after a short stint with UE Figueres, in a return to Catalonia. Subsequently, he became a manager: in 2005–06 he finished the season with Atlético Malagueño, with the Andalusia team eventually being relegated from the second division. In the 2007–08 campaign, he coached lowly Real Oviedo.
