It won't be an Italian car as they're not consistent enough. But it does need to be shouty and angry so I'm going for an AMG.

Just googled and he was driving a nissan duke in 2018, said that was all that was needed for the things he needed to do. I can imagine Levy now, “no Antonio, it’s like your car, Winks is plenty good enough for the job, why sign a Ferrari when a nissan will do?”
I don't quite get Mason's role, is he the assistant coach to Conte? In other words head coach Number 2?
Nah, Stellini is Conte's number 2. Mason is lower in the pecking order but part of the staff.
I wonder what he actually does? He doesn't have a specific role IE ''Fitness Coach'' or whatever.... Mason is ''A Coach'' without an allocated role.
He's probably there to take over when Conte walks. May as well stay close and try to maintain a little continuity.
He'll most likely help run drills and be there to learn from Conte and Stellini. Mason seems ambitious about an actual career in coaching (since he was linked to the Charleton job a few weeks ago). So he probably convinced Conte to let him be part of the staff. And the club sees value in developing a potential future first team manager. And Conte gets a "link" to the club so to speak, Mason can explain the history of the club and all that to him.
I think that he will leave in like 1-2 years to try his luck at a Championship club once he has sat under the Learning tree so to speak.
So Levy has his eye on Mason as a long term head coach for the future, and he wants Conte to help him along...
Probably. It is not that unheard of, especially on the continent and in Italy in particular. You take a former player and you put him in the youth system or as an assistant so that they can get their coaching license and some experience before they are ready to give it a go as head coach. And if they have talent they come back to manage you one day.
I suspect Parker is ahead of Mason in that notion. I'm just wondering if Mason is going to be Conte's immediate replacement when the time comes. At least for filling in as a temp.
Depends on if he is still here when Conte ends up leaving I guess.
I absolutely loved his post match interview on BT. He says all the right things and seems to have got a grip on this club and what we are like already.
Is this the Conte thread?

I assumed Conte ran on the same batteries as Teslas
Thought he had the look of a man in his post-match that knows this team is a distance from where he wants it to be. Pity most of the important players will now be gone for the fortnight he'll have on the training pitch.
Will probably have Tanganga, Dier, Reguilon, Sessegnon*, Winks, Dele, Bryan*, Ndombele, Lucas, Bergwijn.

Thankfully he is also a man who tends to talk about having to "suffer" to achieve success. He knows that you cannot achieve instant success. He's taken over teams in worse positions than ours before.
I wonder will a few get 'niggles' and not join up with their international squads?
