Cristian Stellini believes that Ryan Mason's ability to deliver a clear message to players will help the Tottenham coach become a manager one day.
Mason acted as the club's caretaker manager for a spell in 2021 after the sacking of Jose Mourinho despite being just 29-years-old at the time. He won four of his six Premier League games in charge, leading Tottenham to European qualification, and lost 1-0 in the Carabao Cup final to Manchester City.

The assistant boss was asked whether the former England international could become a manager.
"Yeah, I think so. He is young. He needs time and experience but probably. I am not the right person to give him suggestions because he has studied a lot and he wants to improve," he said. "He has a good character to be a coach and to lead a club, but he needs experience like everyone."
When asked what Mason's best attribute as a coach is, Stellini added: "I think one of the best skills for a coach is [clarity]. Don’t create confusion. He has many details, many ideas, many players to make a choice and to [filter] all this is an important skill.
"Ryan has the character and this type of skill, and I think this is an important skill for a great coach."
