London: Tottenham Hotspur gaffer Jose Mourinho on Wednesday admitted that he broke the government protocols for the coronavirus by leading his side in a training session this week.
Footage had emerged on social media where the manager and members of his side were seen going through training sessions that breached government measures which were put in place to contain the spread of coronavirus.
This resulted in Spurs reminding their players to adhere to government laws with respect to social distancing amid the coronavirus pandemic.
The UK government has adviced everyone to stay at least two metres away from others in public, however, Spurs defenders Davinson Sanchez and Ryan Sessegnon were pictured running side-by-side on Tuesday.
"I accept that my actions were not in line with government protocol and we must only have contact with members of our own household," a leading football website quoted Mourinho as saying.
"It is vital we all play our part and follow government advice in order to support our heroes in the NHS and save lives," he added.
