LONDON: Tottenham Hotspur interim head coach Ryan Mason said on Tuesday that he wanted the players to be brave and aggressive as he prepared to take charge after a"crazy" 24 hours following the sacking of Jose Mourinho.
Mason, who retired in 2018 because of a head injury, will become the first manager to take charge of an English club in a major domestic final as early as his second game in charge since Luton Town's Syd Owen in the 1959 FA Cup final. He said his focus was on getting the team in the right frame of mind for a big week on the pitch and hinted at a more attacking style than was seen under Mourinho who was sacked after 17 months in charge of the London club.
"With such a short turnaround with games at the moment, the most important thing is to get the players in the right frame of mind, to give them some key principles in how we want to approach games of football and then hopefully as that goes on that can develop."Mason said his surprise elevation to first team coach came after a long conversation with chairman Daniel Levy.
