Coach could join Ryan Mason at West Brom days after Tottenham sacking
A 62-year-old academy coach, who recently parted ways with Tottenham Hotspur, could join Ryan Mason’s coaching staff at West Bromwich Albion as the Spurs assistant coach edges towards a move to the Hawthorns.
Mason has been heavily linked with the top job at West Brom after being approached by the Baggies to replace Tony Mowbray, who departed the club in April.
The Tottenham assistant coach is rated highly at Hotspur Way, having been part of Postecoglou’s coaching staff for the last two years and having served as the club’s interim head coach on two occasions.
A few days ago, it emerged that Mason could take some Spurs coaches with him to West Brom, and it has now been revealed that he has an eye on one man in particular.
Paul Bracewell could join Ryan Mason at West Brom after Tottenham exit
A few days ago, Tottenham’s long-serving academy coach Paul Bracewell was let go by the North London club after his position was made redundant.
Now, Football Insider claim that Bracewell can make an instant return to coaching following his exit from Hotspur Way by joining Mason at the Hawthorns.
The report says that Mason is now in advanced talks to take over as the Baggies manager after being identified as the club’s top target.
It is revealed that Bracewell could join Mason at the Midlands club as part of his coaching staff, with the experienced operator being able to guide the former Tottenham midfielder in his first managerial adventure.
Mason has his work cut out if he takes the West Brom job
West Brom finished just four points off the playoff spot this season and Mason will thus be expected to push for promotion next season.
However, the 33-year-old will have his work cut out at the Championship side as Football Insider points out that they have posted a £33.9m loss in their latest accounting period.
As a result, they will have to sell some key players this summer and may not be able to back their new head coach with top signings.
