The Athletic reported on the 9th (Korea time) that coach Mason is talking with Belgium's prestigious Anderlecht. Earlier in the day, Belgian football transfer market expert Sasha Tabolieri also posted on her social media that `Coach Mason is currently leading the race to become the new head coach of Anderlecht`````.
Mason is a former Tottenham youth and grew up at the Tottenham Academy. He was promoted to Tottenham's first team in 2014. It received a lot of expectations, but it didn't leave a big mark. He moved to Hull City in the summer of 2016, but suffered a fatal skull fracture in January 2017 against Chelsea. He underwent surgery immediately, but he couldn't continue his career. Eventually, Mason announced his retirement in 2018 and turned into a leader.

Coach Mason later served as the head coach with coach Enze Postecoglou taking over. As a backbone, he served as a lubricant between senior and young players and gained experience by overseeing training sessions.
In particular, coach Mason is close to Son Heung-min. Coach Mason, who is only a year apart from Son Heung-min, played 16 games with Son Heung-min, who joined Tottenham in the 2015-2016 season. Since then, the relationship has continued. In particular, as Son was subjected to racist acts by the crowd in an away game at Crystal Palace in May 2023, "Son Heung-min is a wonderful person and I personally like him"This is not a situation we want to see. We support Sonny (Son Heung-min's nickname) and all the players in the stadium." Then "Players are the ones who give their lives to entertain us. If anyone crosses the line, they should be punished."

Coach Mason, who had been a temporary coach twice and had a glimpse of his opportunity, finally had a chance. Anderlecht recently replaced head coach Brian Reemer for poor performance. Coach Liemer, who took the helm in October 2022 when Felice Mazu was replaced, finished 11th in the main pillar league in his first year. He succeeded in advancing to the Europa League by finishing third in the league next season, but was dismissed after falling into a slump this season.
Anderlecht is looking for a new coach and has his eye on coach Mason. Recently, the Tottenham coaching staff has been in the spotlight. Coach Chris Davis took the helm of Birmingham City, where Baek Seung-ho is playing, last summer. If coach Mason leaves, Tottenham's coaching staff is likely to be reorganized.
