The summer window is set to be a busy one for Tottenham Hotspur, who are preparing for a major rebuild both on the field and behind the scenes.
The future of manager Ange Postecoglou remains uncertain, as the Tottenham hierarchy is yet to decide whether to stick with the Australian, who ended their 17-year wait for silverware, or to part ways after a dismal Premier League campaign that saw him lead the Lilywhites to a 17th-place finish.
While the verdict on Postecoglou’s future continues to hang in the balance, one man in the Tottenham dugout has already headed for the exit.
Ryan Mason leaves Tottenham for West Bromwich Albion job
Following reports linking Ryan Mason with a move to Championship side West Bromwich Albion, the Tottenham assistant coach has now completed the switch.
The 33-year-old has now sealed his move to become head coach of the Championship outfit, who finished ninth last season, missing out on the play-offs.
This will be Mason’s first full-time role as a first-team manager, although he has served as an interim caretaker boss on 13 occasions at Tottenham, stepping in after the departures of both Antonio Conte and Jose Mourinho.
Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy paid tribute to Mason in a statement on the club’s official site: “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.”
Spurs fans back Ryan Mason after leaving the club
The 33-year-old has been a loyal servant to Tottenham Hotspur, racking up 70 appearances during his playing days before a horrific head injury at Hull City forced him into early retirement.
The Tottenham fans have wished Mason well in his new managerial venture, with many pleased to see him handed the opportunity to lead a club in his own right.
Indeed, Mason will now hope to make his mark in the dugout, as he takes on the challenge of guiding the Baggies back to the Premier League.
