West Bromwich Albion reportedly contemplating Ryan Mason as prospective manager - Spurs' European campaign presents potential hindrance
Ryan Mason's Potential Leap to West Brom in the Balance: Tottenham's Europa League Run Holds Him Back
Tottenham's assistant coach, Ryan Mason, is reportedly a top contender for the managerial position at West Bromwich Albion, but the timing couldn't be worse due to Spurs' ongoing UEFA Europa League adventure[2][4].
Mason has been an integral part of Ange Postecoglou's coaching team as they aim to end Spurs' lengthy trophy dry spell this season. The north London side cemented a promising position in the competition after their 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in the first leg of the semi-finals[1].
West Brom, who recently sacked Tony Mowbray, are keeping a close eye on Mason, but his current commitments to Tottenham pose a challenge for immediate discussions, as mentioned in The Sun[2].
Mason, eager to embark upon his first managerial role, remains dedicated to his responsibilities at Spurs. Having joined the club in 2021, he's served two stints as the interim head coach following the dismissals of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte[1].
Despite conversations with Belgian side Anderlecht to take on their managerial position last October, the negotiations ultimately fell through[1]. As the Europa League proceeds, West Brom may need to explore other prospects or hold fire until Spurs' European duties are concluded before making a move for Mason[1].
The former midfielder's professional playing career was cut short in 2017 due to a serious head injury sustained during a clash of heads with Gary Cahill. After undergoing skull surgery and a stint at Hull City, Mason made the decision to retire from football[1].
What's Next?- Europa League Dates: Spurs' European commitments, potentially stretching to the final on May 21, will likely determine when Mason could be available[2][4].- Managerial Alternatives: West Brom might have to consider other candidates if Mason's negotiations drag, risking losing him to other suitors[1].
