Former Tottenham Player Was Shocked to be Chosen as a Manager to Replace Jose Mourinho

DBasia.news – Former Tottenham Hotspurs player Ryan Mason never thought he would become the architect of the Spurs’ first team to replace Jose Mourinho who was sacked for his performance.

Mason was lined up as interim coach until the end of the season after The Lilywhites fired Mourinho because the results on the field were not optimal.

Spurs immediately won the first match with Mason. Spurs ended Southampton 2-1 resistance. An extraordinary achievement for Mason, a 29 year old young coach who has a sad story in his football journey.

Mason was at a low point in his career when he had to undergo emergency surgery due to a fracture in his skull. He suffered this injury while defending Hull City in January 2017.

At that time, Mason, who played as a midfielder, helped his team’s attack. A collision was inevitable when Mason came head-to-head with Chelsea defender Gary Cahill.

Mason’s football career is at its breaking point due to severe head damage. This forced him to retire at the productive age, 26 years.

Mason really loves football. After retiring as a player, he started a coaching career. He was the head of the Spurs U-17 to U-23 team development. Luck came for him when Jose Mourinho was sacked from the chair and club boss Daniel Levy appointed Mason as interim coach.

“It’s crazy,” he said during his first press conference as Spurs coach.

Ryan Mason became the youngest coach in Premier League history. The next challenge for Mason is when his team will clash with Manchester City in the Premier League Cup final on Sunday (25/4).
