West Brom: Stumbling block emerges in pursuit of 33-year-old coach as Mowbray successor
Tottenham Hotspur’s UEFA Europa League exploits have created a stumbling block in West Bromwich Albion’s pursuit of Ryan Mason.
The Baggies rounded off their Championship season on Saturday lunchtime with a resounding 5-3 victory over Luton Town at The Hawthorns – a result that consigned their opponents to back-to-back relegations – with former midfielder James Morrison rounding off a two-game spell as interim boss following Tony Mowbray’s dismissal on Easter Monday.
Albion knew the fate of their season heading into its final week of regular action, with Shilen Patel’s immediate attention turning towards a successor for the 61-year-old, with Mason emerging as one of the favourites before links to Marti Cifuentes – which have since been quashed – and St Pauli boss, Alexander Blessin.
However, fresh developments mean that supporters may have to wait a little longer before finding out who the next man in the hotseat will be.
Tottenham Hotspur’s UEFA Europa League exploits causing West Brom, Ryan Mason stumbling block
It was reported the day after Mowbray’s last game in charge, a 3-1 defeat to relegation-threatened Derby County in B71, that Mason, who has previously overseen 13 games as interim boss at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in between duties as an academy coach and assistant manager, was fronting the queue.
Such news was reported by Alan Nixon via Patreon, with the 33-year-old said to be a key reason behind the North London side’s run to the UEFA Europa League semi-finals, where they emerged 3-1 victors over Norwegian outfit Bodo/Glimt in the first leg on Thursday night, with it looking highly probable that Ange Postecoglou’s side will face Manchester United in the final in Bilbao on May 21st.
