Argentine Coach Alfio Basile said Thursday he will resign in the wake of the disappointing performance by the two-time champions in the World Cup.
“We all worked with great hopes of getting the title,” Basile said in Buenos Aires. “But I live in this country, where finishing second isn’t sufficient. So the coaching staff will step aside.”
Among the possible replacements mentioned are Daniel Passarella, the former World Cup star and coach of local club River Plate; Carlos Bianchi, who coaches Velez Sarsfield, and Jorge Solari, the Argentine coach of the Saudi Arabian national team.
