Tottenham Hotspur have appointed Ryan Mason as first team coach, while Cristian Stellini has joined the club as Antonio Conte’s new assistant head coach.
Spurs also announced the appointments of Gianluca Conte, Costantino Coratti, Gian Piero Ventrone and Stefano Bruno to Conte’s coaching staff on Thursday, ahead of their UEFA Europa Conference League match against Vitesse Arnhem.
Mason was previously Tottenham’s head of player development and worked as interim head coach following the sacking of Jose Mourinho last season. The 30-year-old former midfielder, who joined the club aged eight before a transfer to Hull City in 2016, won four of the seven matches he presided over, but was unable to lead the club to success in the 2020-21 Carabao Cup final, losing 1-0 to Manchester City at Wembley
However, the former player and interim manager revealed via Instagtam following his appointment:” Delighted to have been asked by the boss to join the first team staff as a coach. I’m excited for this next chapter”.
Will Conte lead Spurs to silverware this season?Yes
