About Lobo Carrasco

Francisco José Carrasco Hidalgo (born 6 March 1959) is a Spanish former football player and manager. Nicknamed Lobo, he played as a winger and spent most of his 14-year professional career with Barcelona (11 seasons).

A Spain international for nine years, Carrasco represented the country at the 1986 World Cup and two European Championships.
