Peter Reid will have no trouble adapting to life in south east Asia after agreeing to take charge of Thailand, according to the country's Football Association president Worawi Makudi.

The 52-year-old is poised to take charge of Thailand on September 1 after his agent, Mike Morris, agreed terms on a four-year contract in Bangkok this week.

"He will come to start work on September 1 so during the last week of August he will sign and we will have a signing ceremony," Worawi told PA Sport.

The former Manchester City, Sunderland and Leeds boss will live in Thailand, while Worawi insists there will be no language problems.

"He will stay in Thailand, of course," added Worawi.

"Many of our players play outside Thailand and some of them are used to foreign coaches, so I don't think there is a problem and of course there is the football language.

"Maybe from the beginning we will need somebody to be with him and help him, but some of the players speak English very well, so that's not a problem."
