Career

Born in Sant Miquel d'Olèrdola, Olèrdola, Barcelona, Catalonia,[1] Carrasco worked for 11 years at FC Barcelona's La Masia, managing the under-9, under-12 and under-14 squads. In June 2011, he moved abroad and joined Georgia's FC Dinamo Tbilisi as a director of the youth categories.

Carrasco returned to his home nation in 2012, taking over Málaga CF's Cadete A squad and leading the side to two accolades.[2] On 15 July 2013, he returned to Georgia after being appointed director of the youth setup at FC Saburtalo Tbilisi.[3]

On 24 November 2014, Carrasco was named assistant manager of Álex García (whom he worked with at Dinamo Tbilisi) at CE Sabadell FC.[4] He left the club the following February, as the manager resigned, and joined Western Sydney Wanderers FC on 14 July 2015.[5]

Carrasco re-signed for the Wanderers in January 2016,[6] remaining at the club until February 2017 after accepting an offer from Kardemir Karabükspor.[7] On 6 July 2018, he switched teams and countries again after being appointed manager of FC Shakhtar Donetsk's under-19 squad.[8] He managed the latter side in the 2019–20 UEFA Youth League, being knocked out in the group stage.

On 10 November 2020, one month after being named manager of the under-19 team,[9] Carrasco was named manager of the Kuwait national team as well as the Kuwaiti Olympic team.[10]
