Ryan Mason Stays at Tottenham, Anderlecht Appoints Hubert

Ryan Mason will remain at Tottenham Hotspur after discussions with Belgian club Anderlecht about a potential managerial role. Tottenham permitted Mason to explore the opportunity to replace recently dismissed Brian Riemer, but Anderlecht decided to appoint interim boss David Hubert permanently. Mason, a former England international, retired at 26 due to a severe head injury and has been coaching at Tottenham since 2018, including two interim managerial stints. His managerial potential was highlighted by his performance in these roles, despite not securing the Anderlecht position. The decision comes amid Anderlecht's ambitions in the Belgian Pro League and Europa League, where they have had a successful start.
