Fiji reinstates Buzzetti as coach

2 December 2011-AP

Fiji has reinstated Uruguayan Juan Carlos Buzzetti as national team coach two years after he was dismissed from the position.

Buzzetti coached Fiji for three years until 2009.

The team has since been coached by Yogen Dutt until 2010, and most recently, Gurjit Singh.

Fiji Football Association president Rajesh Patel said Fiji reappointed Buzzetti because "we need a man of his calibre back to steer us in the right direction."

Patel said "we have reached an understanding with him and he is ready to come back. It is now just up to us to get the logistics right before he makes his return."
