The Tottenham coach held a small session with three players in the park

Jose Mourinho has said sorry for provoking more controversy in England, this time related to the coronavirus crisis, after he broke confinement rules to hold a training session at a London park. 

The Tottenham boss was photographed with three of his players -- Davinson Sánchez, Ryan Sessegnon and Tanguy Ndombele -- holding training drills and not respecting social distancing rules. 

While in England you can still go outside to exercise, there are regulations that stress you must do so on your own or, at most, with another person from your household. 

“I accept that my actions were not in line with government protocol and we must only have contact with members of our own household," Mourinho said, per The Mirror, on Wednesday.

"It is vital we all play our part and follow government advice in order to support our heroes in the NHS and save lives.”

A Tottenham spokesman added: "All of our players have been reminded to respect social distancing when exercising outdoors."
