Why, exactly? What are the arguments that would make Ryan Mason a better choice than David Hubert? A serious asset for the Englishman: he can boast of six years of experience within the organization chart of a giant of European football. As La Dernier Heure points out this Wednesday, Mason’s work was appreciated among Spurs. Ange Postecoglou had notably successfully entrusted him with the preparation of his team’s offensive set-pieces. Retired from the field in June 2023, David Hubert only has one season as RSCA Futures assistant and a short match at the head of the U18s to his credit.
As a player, Mason has also reached a very high level. Although he only played 70 games with Tottenham, the former midfielder rubbed shoulders with a number of big names, including Mousa Dembélé, Toby Alderweireld, Nacer Chadli et Jan Vertonghencurrent captain of Anderlecht. Is this what I experienced in the Premier League, as a player then in the staff of the Spurs, who excites the leaders of Anderlecht? Should they take precedence over the knowledge of the purple locker room and the Pro League that David Hubert can boast of?
We can also assume that entrusting a T2 role to Hubert would be a way for the Anderlecht management to allow him to continue his apprenticeship. With the prospect, in the more or less long term, of accessing the position of head coach. The international break offers precious time to Jesper Fredberg and others to make a decision, which is guaranteed to leave at least one person disappointed.
