After falling out with Steve Bruce at Birmingham City, it is now all change for Wigan Athletic captain Mario Melchiot.
"He needed to because we were in the bottom three - and the things he's done are working for us. The way he goes about the game is very impressive. I think he has progressed really fast.
"I don't know if he is a more relaxed person than he was at Birmingham but I have got to know him in a different way as a person."
Bruce said: "Mario was part of a team that was relegated and I was the manager. Strong words are going to be used in those circumstances - but it is all history now."
