Ryan Mason is likely to become Anderlecht's 'formal manager'.
"Mason has emerged as a new coach candidate for Anderlecht and is having an advanced conversation," said Sasha Tabolieri, a reporter who reports on Belgian football.
Mason is an English former player-turned-coach. As a player, he played for Tottenham Hotspur for a long time. He joined the youth team in 1999 and made his senior debut in 2008.
He stayed at Tottenham for about eight years, but he did not stand out much. He was only a candidate until the 2014-15 season and moved on on on loan, playing 31 league games in the 2014-15 season, but was immediately eliminated from competition in the 2015-16 season. He eventually moved to Hull City in the 2016-17 season and finished his career after playing one season.
After his retirement, he started a new career as a manager. Since 2018, he has worked in coaching roles at Tottenham and assisted many coaches. During this period, he served as Tottenham's acting head coach twice. In 2021, due to Jose Mourinho's dismissal, he served as Tottenham's acting head coach from mid-April to the end of the season, and in 2023, due to Antonio Conte's dismissal, he led Tottenham to the end of April to the end of the season. His two acting experiences even made many fans joke that Mason was preparing to act as an acting head coach whenever Tottenham's atmosphere was not good.
Mason is preparing to take the helm once again. This time, he is a full-time coach, not an acting coach. Belgium's famous Anderlecht is targeting him, and the situation has reportedly advanced considerably. 메이저놀이터
Anderlecht's managerial position has been vacant since September. He has parted ways with Brian Reimer, who has led the team since December 2022. Under Reimer, Anderlecht finished third in the championship round last season but was criticized for missing out on the championship. His performance in the league was not good this season either, and the club ultimately chose to part ways.
