Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho has lifted on his controversy with Tanguy Ndombele during the UK's coronavirus lockdown.

Local press felt the need to report Mourinho and Spurs midfielder Ndombele on Hadley Common in north London back in April, at a time when Government restrictions banned meetings between two people from different households.

"I spent two minutes with him, trying to teach him how to use the WiFi GPS - nothing more than that," Mourinho said of Ndombele.

"It was nothing. We were working with the players at a distance, on Zoom. We were monitoring the players with WiFi GPS.

"At that time the players were allowed to go and run in the street and the park, which is what they were doing."

Mourinho had admitted after the incident that his actions were "not in line with Government protocol" but declined to publicly apologise.

He also revealed, "I went to help a player to put in practice the GPS and the pictures taken in the park speaking with a little group of young men, they were football players but from another club.

"They were not my players. They were players from a Championship club, and I was there at the right distance having a little talk with them and the pictures gave the idea I was with my players which was not true. It was still a mistake."
