Stoke City will miss Peter Reid, says Nigel Gleghorn
Peter Reid left his position as Thailand coach to move to Stoke in August
Stoke City will miss the experience of assistant manager Peter Reid, according to former midfielder Nigel Gleghorn.
Reid, 54, was appointed as the new boss of Plymouth on Thursday after spending 10 months at the Britannia Stadium.
"It's a blow," Gleghorn told BBC Radio Stoke. "Peter has been a manager and [Stoke manager] Tony Pulis took him in to benefit from his experience.
"It just means that not only has Tony got a few players to look for, he's got a number two to look for as well."
Reid left his position as the national coach of Thailand in August 2009 to join the Potters' coaching staff.
He was linked with the vacancies at Bolton and Burnley during last season, and Pulis admitted he would not stand in Reid's way if he landed another managerial role.
Former Everton and England midfielder Reid began his managerial career at Manchester City as player-boss in 1990, guiding them to fifth place in the top flight during his time at Maine Road.
Reid then spent more than seven years at Sunderland, establishing them in the Premier League.
After a short stint at Leeds United, Reid spent eight months at Coventry before being fired in January 2005.
Reid agreed to become Thailand coach on a four-year contract in September 2008 but left after just 12 months in charge.
Plymouth were relegated to League One in May after six seasons in the Championship.
