Biography

Initially a footballer with FBC Piérola of Arequipa, then a physical education teacher,[1] Máximo Carrasco began his coaching career with FBC Melgar (Arequipa) in 1979. He would manage the club several times in the 1980s, leading them to the national championship in 1981.[2] He thus became the first coach to win the Peruvian league title with a club outside the Lima region.

He had the opportunity to manage numerous provincial clubs, including Alfonso Ugarte (Puno), CNI (Iquitos), Coronel Bolognesi (Tacna) and Diablos Rojos (Juliaca). In 1987, he embarked on his first coaching experience with a club in the capital, Deportivo Municipal.

Coach of FBC Aurora (Arequipa), he died on 5 November 1990 in a road accident near Mollendo.[3] As a tribute, one of the 16 football stadiums in the district of Paucarpata (province of Arequipa) bears his name: the Estadio Máximo Carrasco Meza.[4]
