Harry Kane reacts as Tottenham exit officially confirmed

Tottenham could be set for a summer of change after a rocky season in north London.

Although the Lilywhites ended the season lifting the Europa League trophy and securing Champions League football for next term, that can only paper over so many cracks.

A 17th-place finish in the Premier League table was well below the expected levels and, as a result, there is speculation surrounding Ange Postecoglou’s future.

Harry Kane reacts to Ryan Mason exit

Although the future of Postecoglou at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium remains unknown, one member of the coaching staff has packed up.

Ryan Mason is taking the first steps in his managerial career, joining West Brom as their head coach.

Mason has been part of the Tottenham coaching staff since 2019, after being forced to retire early from football.

In 2021, the coach served his first stint as interim boss after the sacking of Jose Mourinho, before another six-game spell in 2023.

Neither spell blew supporters away, but having continued to work in the first-team set-up at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the opportunity has arisen.

The 33-year-old replaces Tony Mowbray as permanent manager of the Championship club.

As Tottenham announced his exit from north London, Mason was sent with well wishes, including those of Harry Kane, who liked the Instagram post.

Daniel Levy has his own decisions to make

While Mason has made his exit, preparing for his future in management, Daniel Levy has a massive decision hanging over his head when it comes to Postecoglou.

With the task of juggling Premier League and Champions League football next season, there is no room for error at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, and it’s debatable whether the Australian has done enough to prove himself.

Levy cannot afford to waste too long on this decision, though.

There is plenty of work that has to be done to strengthen the team over the summer and it cannot be done in good faith if the man at the helm is not backed with confidence.

If Levy is prepared to part ways, without Mason in position, it could be the opportunity for a completely new start in north London.

Although, based on the track record of appointments in recent years, this might not necessarily be a good thing.
