Playing career

[edit]

Born in Peralada, Girona, Catalonia,[1] Carbó was a youth product of Girona FC. In 2009, after finishing his formation, he returned to his hometown and joined CF Peralada in the Primera Catalana.[2]

In 2012, Carbó moved to AE Roses [ca], but retired shortly after in 2013.

Managerial career

[edit]

After retiring and spending a period in Denmark with Esbjerg fB,[3] Carbó returned to Peralada and started working as manager of the Cadete squad in 2015. In May 2018, he moved to UE Figueres as a youth coordinator,[4] before being later named manager of the Juvenil B side.

On 3 June 2019, Carbó returned to Peralada after being appointed manager of the main squad in Tercera División.[5] He renewed his contract until 2022 on 11 February of the following year,[6] but opted to leave on 15 June 2021, after avoiding relegation.[7]

On 16 June 2021, Carbó was named at the helm of UE Olot in Tercera División RFEF.[8] On 29 March of the following year, after a 2–1 loss to former club Peralada which took the club out of the first position, he was sacked.[9]

In January 2023, Carbó moved to England and joined Unai Emery's staff at Aston Villa, as a coach.[10][11] On 4 December 2024, he returned to managerial duties after being named Mikel Llorente's replacement at Primera Federación side Real Unión.[12]
