Ryan Mason, a 33-year-old former Tottenham midfielder, has been appointed as the new head coach of West Bromwich Albion, a Championship side, on a three-year deal. Mason, who progressed through Tottenham's academy and played 70 times for his boyhood team, ends a seven-year coaching career at Spurs. In a statement, Mason expressed his excitement about joining West Brom, citing the club's infrastructure, fanbase, and ambition. West Brom finished just outside the play-off spots last season and Mason's mission will be to guide the club back into the Premier League for the first time since 2020-21. Nigel Gibbs, previously from Reading, has been named Mason's assistant, with Sam Pooley joining from Rangers as the club's first-team coach and head of performance. 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 remained a senior coach during Ange Postecoglou's reign.
