Tottenham promote Ryan Mason to first-team coach after Antonio Conte watched former interim boss take training all week - as new manager brings FIVE Italian coaches with him

Ryan Mason has been promoted to first-team coach at Tottenham under Antonio Conte, with the club announcing five new arrivals as part of the Italian's backroom team in north London.

Mason has been taking training for the last three days with Conte watching on, and the former Chelsea boss has been impressed enough to hand the 30-year-old his first permanent role within the senior set-up.

The former Spurs midfielder took interim charge of Tottenham following Jose Mourinho's sacking in April, with his first match being the Carabao Cup final defeat by Manchester City.
