Basile has wealth of riches at his disposal (475 words)
Alfio Basile, named Argentina's new coach, had only a few words to say after being appointed yesterday but one of his sentences summed up his decision to return for a second time.
Basile's first stint as coach lasted from 1991 to 1994 and was a breath of fresh air after his predecessor Carlos Bilardo and his ruthless win-at-all-costs approach.
Basile has since longed for a second chance and football, increasingly suffocated by safety-first tactics, will be grateful if he can get it right this time.
