Career

Carrascosa started his career in 1967 with Banfield. He made his debut for Argentina in 1970 and was signed by Rosario Central, where he was part of the squad that won the Nacional 1971.

In 1973, he joined Huracán where he won a second Argentine championship in his first season, the Metropolitano was the clubs first championship since the professionalisation of Argentine football in 1931.

Carrascosa played for Argentina until 1977, making 30 appearances and scoring one goal.[1] He resigned from the national team, while he was its captain, for personal reasons.
