Tottenham now ready to cut short coach’s contract early, BBC Sport sources claim
Daniel Levy is already prepared to make a significant change at Tottenham after what has been a mixed campaign in N17.
Ange Postecoglou’s future at Spurs has been uncertain in recent months following an abysmal Premier League season.
The Australian manager and his staff ultimately redeemed themselves by beating Manchester United in the Europa League final.
There are still questions surrounding the ex-Celtic boss’ future, but in the meantime, his assistant manager, Ryan Mason, could be about to leave regardless.
West Brom want to hire Mason as manager, Tottenham expected to release him from contract
Tottenham will need to release Mason from his contract early if West Brom want to hire him immediately, according to BBC Sport.
The news outlet reports (30 May) that the Baggies are in talks to appoint the 33-year-old as their next permanent head coach after sacking Tony Mowbray.
It’s been claimed that the West Midlands outfit won’t face any obstacles as they make a formal approach to Spurs to release the Englishman from his contract, which expires at the end of June.
Mason is expected to start work immediately at The Hawthorns and may also bring some members of the North London outfit’s coaching team with him.
Postecoglou wondering whether he’ll stay at Spurs despite Europa League win
Postecoglou has ended the trophy drought at Tottenham, who won their first title in 17 years after lifting the Europa League in Bilbao.
The Australian manager’s future is still up in the air, considering how bad the Lilywhites have been in the Premier League.
Spurs ended the season 17th in the table after losing 22 matches, and Levy has every right to think about hiring a new manager.
Tottenham fans may not like the decision as the 59-year-old head coach is the first person in years to lead them to a title.

| 60 | 26 | 8 | 26 |
Postecoglou will go down in the history books at the North London outfit, but whether he gets another season in N17 remains to be seen.
With Mason’s potential departure from Spurs on the cards, it seems like Levy is already preparing for a significant overhaul.
The 33-year-old has been at the North London outfit for years, even taking charge as caretaker manager on a few occasions, and it isn’t surprising to see him touted for the West Brom job now.
There will surely be changes in the dugout at the Lilywhites soon, and the situation is one to watch closely.
