Daniel Levy sends message as Ryan Mason’s Tottenham exit is confirmed

Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the departure of assistant coach Ryan Mason, who will become the new head coach of Championship outfit West Bromwich Albion. The Baggies have been in search of a replacement for Tony Mowbray, who departed once it was mathematically confirmed the club could not reach the recent play-offs for promotion to the Premier League. Spurs chairman Daniel Levy said in statement released to the club’s website: “Ryan has been an integral part of Tottenham Hotspur for a number of years, both as a player and a coach. “I’d like to take this opportunity to thank Ryan for all his dedication and hard work over the years, and we wish him every success for the future.” Mason first signed for the Tottenham as a player in 2008. He would leave eight years later and following his premature retirement due to complications that could result from skull fracture suffered whilst playing for Hull City, he ventured into coaching and returned to North London. He progressed from the youth levels onto Jose Mourinho’s staff, ending the 2020/21 season as interim boss when the Portuguese was dismissed. Mason has since acted under Antonio Conte and Ange Postecoglou, bringing his time in coaching to seven years. Now he has signed a three-year deal at the Hawthorns to make his first full steps into management. This departure from the coaching staff comes at a time when football.london understands Levy is currently pondering the future of Spurs, specifically if he is to stick or twist with the manager who has delivered a 17th-placed Premier League finish alongside UEFA Europa League success. Postecoglou, on holiday currently, awaits that decision, and so does the entirety of the club. Regardless of the 59-year-old returning to North London for next season or not, the club will now be looking for a new assistant ahead of the 2025/26 campaign.Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.
