Claudio Barragán Escobar (born 10 April 1964) is a Spanish retired footballer who played as a striker, and a current coach.
His professional career was closely associated to Elche, as both a player and manager, but he was also an important part of the Deportivo de La Coruña teams of the 90s.
Claudio amassed La Liga totals of 259 games and 66 goals over the course of nine seasons, also representing in the competition Mallorca and Salamanca. He added 181/32 in Segunda División, and started working as a coach in 2008.
Known as Claudio in his playing days, he was born in Manises, Province of Valencia, and made his senior debuts at only 16 with local Levante UD. He scored once in two full Segunda División seasons combined – being relegated in 1982 – and was also loaned to lowly AgD Ceuta.
In the 1984 summer, Claudio signed for neighbouring Elche CF, making his La Liga debut on 18 November 1984 in a 0–1 away loss against RCD Español and finishing his first season with 18 games and two goals, including one in a 1–6 defeat at Real Madrid, as the team was eventually relegated; he would gain another promotion with the club in 1988, followed by immediate relegation back.
After two top flight seasons in RCD Mallorca, reaching the Copa del Rey final in 1990–91, Claudio joined Deportivo de La Coruña in the 1991 off-season. He netted ten goals in 34 matches in his first year as the Galicians narrowly avoided relegation, beating Real Betis in the promotion/relegation playoffs.
