Alfio Basile

Alfio Basile, known as Coco, is the kind of figure South American football is built on. A hard-nosed defender out of Bahía Blanca who made his name at Racing Club and Huracán, he became something even bigger in the dugout. What gives me chills is his run with Racing, where he lifted the Supercopa Libertadores, the club's first international title since 1967, then collected four trophies with the Argentina national team and even took charge of Boca Juniors. He carries the grit and pride of the Argentine game in his bones. That résumé alone marks him as a living witness to his country's football history.
