Spurs fans on Twitter have been reacting to the news that Jose Mourinho is currently self-isolating with three of his Tottenham coaches during the current lockdown.
Dan Kilpatrick shared his article for the Evening Standard on Twitter, which suggests that the Portuguese manager is staying in a rented home along with goalkeeping coach Nuno Santos, tactical analyst Ricardo Formosinho and head of first-team performance Carlos Lalin. The 57-year-old is also in regular contact with his other first-team staff and players via video.
The Spurs boss faced criticism when he arranged a training session with Tanguy Ndombele last week and it seems as if the North London club remains his priority, despite the Premier League suspension.
Do you think it is strange that Mourinho is living with his coaches?
Yes
No

Most of these Spurs fans seem impressed by Mourinho’s dedication, although some were curious as to why he and these coaches opted to not isolate with their families.
What do we think?
It seems strange that Mourinho is living with some of his coaches during the current viral outbreak, but the Lilywhites certainly don’t have any excuses for not being strong tactically when football does resume.
