Jose Mourinho calls himself a 'fried egg specialist' as he discusses Spurs, UK lockdown

The coronavirus UK lockdown was enforced by the British government last month after the COVID-19 crisis went out of control. The Premier League was suspended in March after Chelsea player Callum Hudson-Odoi and Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta both tested positive for COVID-19 in the same week. Various Premier League clubs have partnered with charitable organisations in order to help all those affected by the coronavirus UK lockdown. Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has led the donation campaign in North London reaching out to needy members of the community with freshly grown produce and other supplies.

Jose Mourinho calls himself a 'fried egg specialist' as he discusses Spurs, UK lockdown

Jose Mourinho was appointed as manager of Tottenham after the departure of fan favourite Mauricio Pochettino last year. The  Portuguese tactician took charge of his third Premier League club after Chelsea and Manchester United. Spurs saw a small upturn in results at the start of his managerial term but long-term injuries to Harry Kane and Son Heung-Min hurt the North London club strongly. Jose Mourinho and his side were knocked out of the UEFA Champions League and the FA Cup earlier this year.

After the suspension of the Premier League last month, Jose Mourinho has been organising online training sessions for his players. He was also pictured training outdoors with Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele during the coronavirus UK lockdown which did not go well with local authorities. Earlier this week, certain Tottenham players returned to training. The club planned a training programme in such fashion that it required the players to come in at certain intervals in order to follow social distancing rules specified by the British government.
