 What winning the Carabao Cup would mean to Ryan Mason

Ryan Mason, albeit in an interim capacity, is the youngest man to ever take the helm of a Premier League side. Imagine him winning his first trophy less than a week after being appointed gaffer, the importance of which even more emboldened considering Tottenham’s 13-year barren patch.

The former Tottenham player, who’s coaching a number of former teammates, will be raring to prove he belongs managing at the top level. Winning the Carabao Cup at the first time of asking after only six days in charge could also define the young gaffer’s managerial career.

While landing the permanent job is, for the time being, almost impossible to expect, defeating City in a cup final will only help to bolster his CV for future permanent job openings.

Mason’s presence as manager, along with the absence of “The Stoic One”, should help buoy and relax Tottenham’s players, so much so I feel Tottenham will finally end their 13-year trophy-less drought.

Next. Something you might not know about Harry Kane. dark

Aside from all of the other aforementioned reasons, winning the Carabao Cup would also represent a direly needed silver lining in an otherwise disappointing season. We all dream of a bit of glory, especially right now. God knows we deserve it.
