EFL Transfer Roundup: Ryan Mason Set to Lead West Brom & Latest Gossip Across the Leagues
Ryan Mason Set to Take Over at West Brom
Ryan Mason is poised to begin his managerial career in earnest with a major step up: taking the reins at West Bromwich Albion. The 32-year-old is on the brink of leaving his role as assistant manager at Tottenham Hotspur to become the new head coach at The Hawthorns.
According to Sky Sports’ reporters Lyall Thomas, Rob Dorsett, and James Savundra, contract talks are at an advanced stage, with Mason expected to sign a three-year deal. His current contract with Spurs expires at the end of June, but he’s made it clear he won’t be discussing a renewal—he’s ready to lead.
This move marks Mason’s first full-time appointment as a number one, following a short stint as interim boss at Tottenham in 2021. He’s respected for his tactical mind, calm demeanor, and close rapport with players—qualities West Brom believe can energize their promotion ambitions.
