Reports claimed Mourinho revealed his concerns over football returning next month during a meeting with other Premier League managers on Wednesday.
Tottenham head coach Jose Mourinho has quashed reports that suggested he attempted to delay the Premier League's 'Project Restart' because he was worried about players' fitness. A few publications reported the Portuguese was not happy with a possible return of the Premier League next month, but, the former Chelsea, Real Madrid, and Manchester United boss insists he is "desperate" for football to return to action "as soon as it is safe" for everyone. "I don't think my position in the meeting has been reflected fairly at all today in media reports. I have not asked for any delay," Mourinho said, in a statement released by Tottenham.
