Mason joined the coaching staff of Tottenham Hotspur in April 2018.[59] In February 2019, he suggested that heading should be banned for children.[60] He was made the official academy coach for the Under-19 UEFA Youth League side in July 2019,[61][62] and then the head of player development (U-17 to U-23) in August 2020.[63]

On 20 April 2021, following the dismissal of José Mourinho as head coach, Mason was named interim head coach of Tottenham Hotspur until the end of the season.[64] At the age of 29, he became the youngest manager of a Premier League team; the previous record holder Attilio Lombardo of Crystal Palace was 32.[65][66] Mason won his first match in charge of Tottenham, who beat Southampton at home 2–1 on 21 April.[67] Four days later, the club lost the 2021 EFL Cup Final by a single goal to Manchester City.[68] He oversaw five more games in charge, winning three and losing two with Tottenham finishing seventh at the end of the season.[69]

On 4 November 2021, following the appointment of Antonio Conte as Head Coach, Mason was promoted to the role of First Team Coach after impressing Antonio Conte during his handling of leading training all week

yeah, just read that.

not sure whether head coach means manager of not..

not for me, but obviously would support him if appointed.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I would much rather have Mason than Sol Campbell😀

Mourhino was Head Coach in his time at Spurs.

Not sure what ‘kind’ of new man you are expecting.

[Batch]

I guess someone who has managed a bit. even if it's u21.

that's just me.

[Jimmy HaveHave]

I've just realised that he's still only 30 so would he need an older experience assistant🤔

Modern footballing parlance doesn’t seem to differentiate between manager and head coach these days. It’s just semantics, I reckon. Would Mason need a DoF? No idea. But whoever it is will have told Clem what conditions he wants to work under.

[Batch]

yeah I did say I wasn't sure of head coach=manager

I think it's clear that (our) Matt Taylor would be the easy appointment, whether it is the right one is questionable.  My view is we have always had more success with a more left field appointment - When you think of Macari, Ossie, Hoddle, Di Canio, Wellens - they all came out of the blue, had no previous connection with the club and all did well.  I would love to see something similar as it seems to work for us.

Each of those brought a couple of players they knew - Digby, Watson, Moncur, Hazard, Doyle etc. But they also relied on their names to attract people.

Different times now. My money would be on the cheap option Taylor with a DoF noone has heard of

[Jimmy HaveHave]

That would be uninspiring

So was Garner though tbf

I think taking the 'free hit' season and then leaving is a dick more.  I hope both Bens and other coaches fail.

Hmmm. Let's see what comes out about why Chorley resigned.

No time for Garner applying for other things while we were still in the play offs. Hope he sees the other side of loyalty in his career.

Not just academy teams but the American womens team got beat 5-2 by an MLS Under 15s team (DC United).

Saying our Under 18s would beat any womens team in the world is not controversial. You could go quite a bit younger.

Correction FC Dallas.
