Steven Reid claims West Bromwich Albion boss Roberto Di Matteo has the correct temperament for Premier League management, reports the Birmingham Mail. The Baggies utility man has played under several managers during his career, including Mick McCarthy, Graeme Souness, Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and, most recently, Sam Allardyce.
"My first game was QPR away when he went into one at half-time," said Reid.
"He wasn't too happy at half-time, but that was probably the only hairdryer moment that I saw.
"He had a go at the whole team.
"Maybe it needs that kind of result and that kind of reaction from the manager to spur the lads on for the rest of the season. It helped us.
"We went unbeaten from there and hopefully we won't see too much of that this season because that will mean we're doing well.
"Different managers have their own ways.
"I have played for a few managers that can lose their rag and I have played for a few calm managers as well.
"He seems to have the balance right and hopefully we can have a good season."
