Tottenham confirm departure from first-team coaching set-up ahead of new season
Ryan Mason has officially departed Tottenham Hotspur, with a Championship club confirming him as their new head coach ahead of the 2025-26 season.
There are wholesale changes expected at Tottenham this summer, including but not restricted to just the coaching staff.
Ange Postecoglou is still waiting for a decision from Daniel Levy about his future, but the Australian is not the first member of the Tottenham first-team coaching staff to depart.
Ryan Mason, who was appointed as Ange Postecoglou’s assistant coach as soon as the 59-year-old arrived at Hotspur Way in 2023, and has served as interim head coach of the Lilywhites twice before that, has now left the North London club to take up his first managerial role.
Earlier on Monday, another change was made with the news that Donna-Marie Cullen was stepping down from the Tottenham board after twenty years.
Ryan Mason confirmed as West Brom’s new head coach
It was no secret over recent days that Mason was leading the race to become West Bromwich Albion’s new head coach, and the 33-year-old has now officially accepted the role with his Tottenham contract set to expire at the end of June.
Mason’s last involvement for Tottenham came in the 4-1 defeat to Brighton on the final day of the Premier League campaign, which came days after the Europa League final win against Manchester United.
Tottenham have now announced the exit of the former midfielder as the permanent successor to Tony Mowbray, who was let go in mid-April with Mason having signed a three-year deal at The Hawthorns.
A statement on the official Spurs site read: “We can announce that Ryan Mason, our Assistant Coach, has left the Club to take up the role of Head Coach at West Bromwich Albion.”
The Baggies finished in ninth place in the Championship in the 2024-25 season, just six points off a playoff spot, and Mason will be tasked with the challenge of securing promotion back to he Premier League.
Smart decision by Mason as he eyes Tottenham head coach role
Mason had gone as far as he could at Tottenham and it was always going to be impossible for him to be considered for the head coach role unless he proved himself elsewhere.
The 33-year-old has been very patient in waiting for the right opportunity and his decision has been vindicated as he has now landed a huge job.
If Mason impresses at the Hawthorns and gets the Baggies promoted, Levy and the Spurs decision-makers will certainly stand up and take notice.
