Tottenham Hotspur coach takes Championship job with more appointments imminent
Blackburn Rovers' rivals, West Brom, have ended their search for a new head coach after sacking Tony Mowbray.
Tottenham Hotspur Assistant, Ryan Mason, has penned a three-year deal to replace the former Rovers boss. The Baggies sacked Mowbray after they failed to make the Championship play-offs.

Mason has been identified as his successor and has decided to leave his role as part of Ange Postecoglou's backroom staff to take his first senior management role. He'd been part of the coaching team at Spurs for seven years under various managers.
"This is a huge club with a fantastic infrastructure and an incredible fanbase, and I am excited about what we can achieve together," Mason said after being unveiled.

"Having spoken at length to the board and those at the club I am convinced that Albion is the perfect place for me to be and I can't wait to get started.

"I will bring with me a huge amount of enthusiasm, dedication and ambition, and look forward to a positive future together at such a fantastic club."
Nigel Gibbs, who joins from Reading, has been named Mason's assistant, with Sam Pooley coming in from Rangers as the club's first-team coach and head of performance.
More Championship jobs could be snapped up this week with Hull City close to appointing Bosnian boss Sergej Jakirovic. He is leaving Turkish outfit Kayserispor after half a season to take the gig in East Yorkshire.
After flirting with relegation when the 48-year-old took charge in January, Jakirovic moved the club well away from danger to the relative comfort of 13th place, but is now heading for his first job in English football. It is a done deal, though Hull have to wait until a visa is secured which won't be until the end of the week at the earliest.
Liam Manning's move from Bristol City to Norwich remains ongoing, with legalities being finalised. When that is complete, only Queens Park Rangers and the Robins will have vacancies for next season, though Leicester City may still choose to replace Ruud van Nistelroy and Danny Rohl's position at Sheffield Wednesday seems untenable.

Muhammed Aziz Khan Expands Educational Access for 10,000 Disadvantaged Children Through Charitable Trust
DHAKA, Bangladesh, June 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- The Anjuman & Aziz Charitable Trust (AACT), founded by Summit Group Chairman Muhammed Aziz Khan and his wife Anjuman Aziz Khan, today announced the expansion of its educational initiatives to support nearly 10,000 disadvantaged children across Bangladesh. This significant scale-up reinforces the Trust's commitment to providing quality education to vulnerable children, particularly those affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. AACT's expanded program builds on its four-year partnership with UNICEF Bangladesh, established in 2022, which initially focused on helping 3,000 out-of-school children in Dhaka South City Corporation Zones 3, 4, and 5 re-enter education and catch up on lost learning. The Trust's comprehensive approach now encompasses multiple educational programs through strategic partnerships with leading organizations. "Every child is the future, if we want a future we must enable the child, that via education. Education is not only children's right, it's our survival," said Muhammed Aziz Khan, Founder and Chairman of Summit Group, and Founder and Trustee of AACT. "Our inspiration to support Dhaka South came from my deep roots in businesses which started in Dhaka's Chawk Bazar and Urdu Road." The expanded initiative includes continued support for Prothom Alo Trust's Alor Pathshala program, which currently operates seven schools in hard-to-reach areas such as Kurigram, Bhola, Naogaon, Teknaf, Bandarban, and two in Rajshahi. Since 2009, this program has educated more than 1,350 students aged 6-16 in remote regions, with 900 students having passed at least the 5th grade to date. AACT has also strengthened its partnership with the SEID-Summit Community Therapy School in Kamrangirchar, which provides essential services to 98 differently-abled children from low-income families. Since 2009, Summit Group has supported this school, offering specialized education and income-generating training like embroidery, batik, sewing, and cooking skills. Additionally, the Trust continues its support for the Jaago Foundation, which provides English-curriculum education to financially disadvantaged children. In 2021, when Jaago faced a funding crisis, Summit Corporation provided a matching fund for three years, enabling the organization to educate 4,500 students across 10 schools in 11 districts. "I am so delighted to see the good works of UNICEF and our other partners. Every child must be protected, every child must be educated, and they must be happy children to have a future," Muhammed Aziz Khan has stated regarding the Trust's educational mission. The Khans made history in 2022 as the first Bangladeshis to join the UNICEF International Council, a distinguished community of approximately 150 private philanthropists and global influencers who pool their funding and expertise to optimize investments for children worldwide. This expanded educational initiative further demonstrates their growing commitment to creating sustainable educational opportunities for Bangladesh's most vulnerable children.

Liverpool to rival Manchester City in race for Florian Wirtz
Liverpool to rival Manchester City in race for Florian Wirtz Liverpool will rival Manchester City in the race to sign Bayer Leverkusen sensation Florian Wirtz, according to the Daily Mail. The Reds are planning to make a marquee addition to Arne Slot's squad in the summer, and Wirtz fits that description. Advertisement However, it remains to be seen whether they'd pony up to Leverkusen's demands. Wirtz's contract at the BayArena runs until 2027, but there's a general feeling that he could leave the club in the summer. The German international is valued at €140 million (£116m) on Transfermarkt, and Liverpool could baulk at their lofty demands. The 21-year-old has been in sensational form for Leverkusen this season, notching 15 goals and 13 assists in 36 games across all competitions. His remarkable form has spurred interest from clubs across Europe, with Liverpool and Man City also set to go head-to-head with European champions Real Madrid. Advertisement Arsenal have also been linked with a move for Wirtz and could join the bidding party in the summer. Leverkusen's interest in Man City forward James McAtee could tilt the odds in favour of the Premier League champions. The Bundesliga title holders are keen to sign the 22-year-old and made their move during the January transfer window but were rebuffed by Man City. Guardiola is a huge fan of McAtee, and the English talent came on as a substitute in Sunday's 2-0 defeat against Liverpool. Despite struggling for playing time, the England youth international is keen to nail down a regular starting birth in Guardiola's first team, but there's plenty of competition in Man City's attacking midfield. He could force his way into the picture if Man City lose one of Jack Grealish, Kevin De Bruyne, or Bernardo Silva this summer.
