London: Ryan Mason will lead Tottenham into the English League Cup final against Manchester City on Sunday as the youngest manager in the club's history after being installed as the replacement for the fired Jose Mourinho until the end of the season.
The 29-year-old Mason retired from playing in 2018 on medical advice after failing to fully recover from a fractured skull following a clash of heads during a Premier League game the previous year.
He has been working with Tottenham's academy's players but was given the top job on Tuesday for the remaining month of the season following Mourinho's departure on Monday.
