The 28-year-old was himself a product of the club’s academy, going on to make 70 appearances under Mauricio Pochettino before joining Hull City in 2016.
Mason was forced into an early retirement at the age of 26 in February 2018, having suffered a fractured skull a year prior while playing against Chelsea in the Premier League.
“[Mason] has been regularly involved alongside our academy staff on youth team match days over the last year while working through his coaching badges,” read the statement on Tottenham’s website.
“He now officially joins us as an academy coach, with responsibility for our Under-19 UEFA Youth League side.”
