Harry Kane's verdict on Ryan Mason becoming permanent Tottenham boss and Conference League spot

Harry Kane believes that Tottenham appointing Ryan Mason as head coach on a permanent basis would help the club get back some of the values they have lost in recent years. In a recent interview with Sky Sports, the striker opened up on the team's fall since Mauricio Pochettino had them competing towards the top of the Premier League and that the values and culture that made them successful at the time have been lost in parts over the last few years.

Now on the search for a new head coach following Antonio Conte's exit at the end of March, Mason is now in charge of the team for the remainder of the season after Cristian Stellini was dismissed from his position after the 6-1 humbling at Newcastle United. Collecting four points from a possible nine since he resumed the position he took on two years ago, Kane has hailed his former teammate and outlined that everyone is "fully behind him".

“I think we’re all behind him. We know the club is in a situation where I spoke about getting some of the values back. I feel like Ryan brings all those attributes," explained the England captain. “He’s been here through the academy, he knows what it’s like as a fan, he knows what it’s like to play here. With that attitude and that desire, he brings a great enthusiasm to the coaching role here.
