Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho delivers food to the elderly in London amid coronavirus crisis

Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho has shown his compassionate side by helping the elderly affected by the coronavirus outbreak.

As revealed by football.london last week, Spurs have cancelled all their upcoming training sessions following the outbreak and have told their players to train at home.

Just last week, Mourinho sent a message to those members of the public not adhering to government advice since the outbreak of Covid-19.

And now the former Chelsea and Manchester United boss has stepped up his efforts to help those in the community by delivering food to elderly members of society.

Working alongside the charity Age UK near Spurs’ training complex in Enfield, Mourinho took to the streets to deliver food to those either self-isolating or unable to get out.

“I’m giving a little help to Age UK Enfield and LoveYourDoorStep Enfield and of course you can donate food, money or be a volunteer. It's so easy to contact because you just have to follow the link below,” he said.

The charity has been delivering essential items to those who have been advised to quarantine for the next 12 weeks, with Mourinho lending a helping hand this afternoon.

The UK’s death toll increased by 54 on Monday, taking the total of deaths caused by the virus to 335, while the number of confirmed cases is now at 6,650.

Prime Minister Boris Johnson addressed the nation on Monday night, telling the public to “stay at home and protect the NHS” for the next three weeks as they battle to gain control of the outbreak.

While Tottenham won’t return to Premier League until early May at the earliest, after the governing body confirmed last week that the league will remain suspended.
