Ryan Mason: West Brom close in on manager appointment


West Brom are close to appointing Tottenham coach Ryan Mason as their new manager.

BBC Sport reported last week the 33-year-old was in talks with the Baggies over taking his first managerial role and an agreement has now been reached with the former England midfielder.

Mason had been in talks over a three-year contract and his appointment is set to be confirmed soon.

His contract at Spurs was due to expire at the end of June but West Brom approached the Premier League club with a view to appointing him immediately, while BBC Sport understands Tottenham academy coach Stuart Lewis could join too.

Mason joined Tottenham’s coaching team in April 2018, playing a key role in the club’s academy before becoming interim first-team manager following the sacking of Jose Mourinho in 2021.

He has been part of Tottenham’s senior set-up ever since, becoming acting head coach for a second time following the departure of Antonio Conte in 2023.

Mason has remained a senior coach during Ange Postecoglou’s reign.
