Coach Ryan Mason, who was with Son Heung-min as a player, coach, and acting coach, leaves Tottenham.

He was appointed West Bromwich manager of the English Championship (part two). West Bromwich announced on the 3rd (Korea time) that it has appointed Mason as its new head coach. The contract period is three years.

West Bromwich remained ninth in the 2024-2025 season championship and failed to qualify for the first division promotion playoff. On April 21, at the end of the season, he replaced former coach Tony Mowbray about three months after taking office and came to find a new head coach.




Mason, who will take his first step as an official head coach, was born in 1991 and is one year older than Son Heung-min. He wore a Tottenham uniform with Son Heung-min on the ground. However, he failed to blossom as a player. He moved to Hull City in the summer of 2016 and collapsed against Chelsea in January 2017 with a major skull fracture.

The surgery was successful, but the return to the ground was canceled. Mason retired early at the age of 26 and joined Tottenham's coaching staff in April 2018.

An unusual career is that he has led Tottenham twice as an acting coach. Mason took over as acting manager after Jose Mourinho was replaced in April 2021. He went 4-3 in seven games.

Mason led Tottenham again as the acting head coach 'acting' after the departure of head coach Christian Stellini following Antonio Conte in April 2023. He had only two wins, one draw and three losses in six games. Although he was also nominated for Tottenham's official coach, he moved back to coaching after the appointment of Enze Postecoglou.

Mason will win the title after seven years as a coach at Tottenham. He said "This is a huge club with great infrastructure and amazing fandom. I'm looking forward to what we can achieve together"After a long talk with the board and club officials, I am convinced that West Bromwich is the perfect place for me, and I can't wait to get to work." he said.

And "I look forward to creating a positive future together in this fantastic club with tremendous enthusiasm, dedication and ambition."," he stressed.




Mason's contract with Tottenham expires at the end of June.
