Tottenham's Jose Mourinho accepts breaking social distancing rules amidst UK lockdown

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has endured a tough start to his tenure in North London. The two-time UEFA Champions League winner saw his team get knocked out of the UCL, FA Cup and drop out of the top six in the Premier League standings before the season was suspended last month. The Portuguese manager once again made the headlines, albeit for the wrong reasons, after he was seen training in a public park in London along with Tottenham players - Tanguy Ndombele and Ryan Sessegnon, which angered a lot of UK citizens.
