==Playing career==
Born in [[Pontevedra]], [[Galicia (Spain)|Galicia]], Pasarín started his professional career with [[RC Celta de Vigo]]. One of the club's first [[Captain (association football)|captains]], he appeared in its first ever official tournament, the 1923 Galician Championship, which ended in conquest.<ref name=CELTA>[http://yojugueenelcelta.blogspot.com/2008/04/luis-casas-pasarn.html Luis Casas Pasarín]; Yo Jugué en el Celta, 20 April 2008 (in Spanish)</ref>

Pasarín then spent six seasons with [[Valencia CF]],<ref>[http://www.ciberche.net/historia/la-historia-del-valencia-cf/1929-1930 1929/1930 – Amorós retira al equipo en Madrid (1929/1930 – Amorós retires team in Madrid)] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110721222139/http://www.ciberche.net/historia/la-historia-del-valencia/los-anos-20/90|date=21 July 2011}}; at CiberChe (in Spanish)</ref> created precisely after he left Celta. His best [[La Liga]] input occurred in [[1932–33 La Liga|1932–33]] as he played 17 games, but they could only rank ninth out of ten teams, narrowly avoiding relegation. After retiring in 1935 he worked in the Ministry of Labour, but returned shortly after to play for amateurs Nacional de Madrid.<ref name=CELTA/>

Pasarín earned six [[Cap (sport)|caps]] for [[Spain national football team|Spain]],<ref name=OVIEDO>[https://www.realoviedo.es/noticia/hace-117-anos-nacia-pasarin Hace 117 años nacía Pasarín (Pasarín was born 117 years ago)]; Real Oviedo, 16 April 2019 (in Spanish)</ref> and [[Football at the 1924 Summer Olympics|represented the nation]] at the [[1924 Summer Olympics]].<ref>[https://www.cihefe.es/cuadernosdefutbol/2012/06/rafaga-olimpica/ Ráfaga olímpica (Olympic gust)]; Cuadernos de Fútbol, 1 June 2012 (in Spanish)</ref>

==Coaching career==
After the [[Spanish Civil War]], Pasarín obtained his coaching licence. He was in charge of the national side for one game,<ref>[https://www.mundodeportivo.com/seleccion-espanola/20180709/45783485114/seleccionadores-historico.html Todos los seleccionadores de la Roja (All the managers of the ''Roja'')]; [[Mundo Deportivo]], 16 July 2018 (in Spanish)</ref> then returned to Valencia for the [[1946–47 La Liga|1946–47 season]], leading the club to its third national championship in six years. He achieved a [[1947–48 La Liga|runner-up position the following year]], trailing champions [[FC Barcelona]] by three points.<ref>[http://blog.superdeporte.es/elvalenciaenelrecuerdo/2009/08/25/iturraspe-y-pasarin-marcaron-una-epoca-tanto-en-el-campo-como-en-el-banquillo-che/ Iturraspe y Pasarín marcaron una época tanto en el campo como en el banquillo ché (Iturraspe and Pasarín, ''Che'' legends in both pitch and bench)]; [[Super Deporte]], 25 August 2009 (in Spanish)</ref>

Pasarín also managed Celta in five top-flight campaigns in two separate spells,<ref name=CELTA/> and also worked in that capacity with [[Real Oviedo]]<ref name=OVIEDO/> and [[FC Porto]] (Portugal).<ref>[https://ionline.sapo.pt/artigo/327335/julen-lopetegui-a-escolha-na-cultura-e-na-identidade?seccao=Desporto_i Julen Lopetegui.
