Tottenham Assistant coach Ryan Mason is said to have emerged as a leading candidate for the empty management position in West Bromwich Albion – but the Baggies
Mason is an integral part of the Ange Postecoglou coaching team while this season they want to end the long trophy -dried of Spurs.
The North London club achieved a 3-1 win over Bodo/Glimt in the first stage of the semi-final, and positioned them favorably for a potential final against Manchester United of Athletic Club in Bilbao on 21 May.
West Brom, after he had rejected Tony Mowbray after a disappointing season that saw them ending ninth and missing the play-offs, would like to name a new manager.
While Mason is on their radar, current responsibilities with Tottenham are more difficult to negotiations as reported by the sun.
The 33-year-old is eager to take his first steps in full-time management, but continues to commit to Tottenham and honoring his current role at the club.
Mason has been working together with the Tottenham First Team since 2021 and served two Stints as an interim head coach of the club after the resignation of Jose Mourinho and Antonio Conte.
He could now be ready to end his long association with Tottenham while he wants to take his first steps in management.
Mason held conversations to become the new manager from the Belgian and ENCHT last October, but the conversations fell on.
As the Europa League progresses, West Brom may have to consider alternative options or wait for Tottenham's European obligations to pursue Mason.
The former midfielder had to cut his gaming career briefly due to a horrible head injury in collision with the then Chelsea defender Gary Cahill.
Mason required skull operation after the incident in January 2017 and after he had moved to Hull, he withdrew from professional football 13 months later.
