Ryan Mason has expressed his privilege to take charge of Tottenham Hotspur again following the sacking of Cristian Stellini, who was dismissed after the embarrassing 6-1 defeat at Newcastle last Sunday. Mason had previously taken the reins at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the end of the 2020/21 season following Jose Mourinho’s sacking, and has now spoken out for the first time on the matter as he prepares his side for a huge clash against top four rivals Manchester United. In a statement, the club have also confirmed Mason’s coaching staff for the remaining games: Ryan will be joined by former Academy player and coach Matt Wells (Acting Assistant Head Coach) and current Academy coach Nigel Gibbs (Acting First Team Coach), alongside Perry Suckling (First Team Goalkeeping Coach) and Gianni Vio (Set Pieces Coach), who continue their existing roles.
At the time of writing, Tottenham are sixth in the Premier League, six points behind fourth-placed United albeit having played two games more. Mason’s record from his last spell in charge of the Lilywhites saw four wins and three losses, including the Carabao Cup final defeat to Manchester City. In other news, the Tottenham players involved in the Newcastle loss have publicly apologised and promised to reimburse the travelling fans.
