Former Socceroos skipper Mike Jedinak has been appointed to Ange Postecoglou’s coaching staff, the Premier League club has confirmed.
Ex-Australia boss Postecoglou was recently named head coach of Spurs after the EPL giants finished eighth last season to miss out on European action next season.
Ryan Mason is also staying on at the club in an assistant coach capacity.
Former Spurs midfielder Mason took charge of the final six matches of the 2022-23 campaign, but doubts were cast over his long-term future.

Mason, 32, repeatedly stated his readiness for management during his second interim stint with his old side.
However, the once-capped England international will remain at Tottenham as part of Postecoglou’s backroom set-up.
Spurs have also recruited a number of other coaches to work with their new manager with Chris Davies, formerly Brendan Rodgers’ assistant at Leicester, named as senior assistant coach.
Former Crystal Palace defensive midfielder Jedinak will begin with Tottenham on July 1 as an assistant coach and Matt Wells, who returned to the club to help Mason during his interim spell, will remain involved in the first-team set-up.
