Tottenham first-team coach Ryan Mason is in talks with Anderlecht to take on his first coaching role.
Mason has held various roles at Spurs, including two spells as caretaker manager, since returning to the club in 2018. The once-capped England midfielder was forced to retire at the age of 26 at the following a skull fracture in a match for Hull at Chelsea in 2017.
He began his coaching career at his boyhood club, Tottenham, a few months after his retirement, before being asked to take charge of the first team in 2021 following the departure of José Mourinho. Mason then led Spurs in their 1-0 defeat to Manchester City in the Carabao Cup final at Wembley.
Antonio Conte promoted Mason to his coaching staff upon his appointment and the 33-year-old was given another caretaker stint towards the end of the 2022-23 campaign.
