Geremi has recalled playing for West Brom boss Sam Allardyce at Newcastle United.
Geremi, who was Allardyce's first captain at Newcastle, remembers a manager with a 'typical English style' of the time.
"He did not come out to the training pitches, for example, on Monday or Tuesday," Geremi told ChronicleLive. "He would leave the coaches working but he came on, say, Thursday and Friday.
"I remember we were working in training with the speakers around the training pitches and Sam had a headset with a microphone around his mouth.
"I understood that because the message he was giving was for the defenders or the goalkeeper far away from the play, too.
"This was the kind of thing that was totally different from the Spanish style or the Italian style of coaching. But, at the end of the day, it was trying to help the team to win, to get some results."
