It has been reported that Tottenham Hotspur interim manager Ryan Mason will be appointed on a permanent basis one day.
However, it is unlikely that the English coach, branded as a ‘popular’ candidate for the job will be handed the reins next season.
As Tottenham Hotspur continue their new manager search, an update on Ryan Mason and his chance of getting the job has come to light.
Ryan Mason set for Tottenham manager job one day
It was claimed on Wednesday that the 31-year-old had told the Spurs squad that he was keen on managing them on a full-time basis, starting next season.
Mason has not been too shabby as a temporary appointment, leading comebacks from two goals down against Manchester United and Liverpool and getting a win under his belt against Crystal Palace.
Sure, the result against the Reds was a howler but that is solely down to Lucas Moura’s mindless backpass that led to Diogo Jota’s winner.
While several Tottenham fans have suspected that Ryan Mason could become their next manager, journalist Rob Guest has assured that this could only be a possibility in the future.
Guest had his say on Ryan Mason becoming the Tottenham manager in the future by saying, “All Mason can do is to try and win these games, get Tottenham into the Europa League and then see what happens. He has a good future ahead of him, he has a really good future ahead of him.
“I’m sure that one day he will be the Tottenham boss, but whether or not it’s from August onwards? I can’t see it”, he said on the Gold and Guest Talk Tottenham Podcast.
HITC View: Strange that such assurances may have been made
If Ryan Mason has been assured the Tottenham manager job one day, that is a bit of a bizarre call.
Mason is yet to accomplish anything significant in the game as a head coach to warrant such faith in his abilities.
The Englishman has shown promise but until he leaves the club to take on a permanent job elsewhere, Spurs should not even consider bringing him on board.
Football should be a meritocracy and to stick by club allegiances when taking decisions of such magnitude is asking for trouble.
