Ryan Mason has insisted he is "ready" to become Tottenham's next permanent manager. The 31-year-old was named Spurs' acting head coach on Monday following Daniel Levy's decision to sack Cristian Stellini.
Stellini had only been in the job one month following Antonio Conte's dismissal but after the embarrassing 6-1 defeat to Newcastle United on Sunday, Levy pulled the trigger in the hope of salvaging Spurs' Champions League qualification hopes. Mason has now been given the job on a temporary basis until the end of the season, with Matt Wells, Nigel Gibbs, Perry Suckling and Gianni Vio working alongside him.
A number of managers have been tipped to take the job on full-time, including Mauricio Pochettino, Julian Nagelsmann and Arne Slot. Mason, however, appears to fancy the role himself if given the opportunity.
