CAIRO-1 May 2020: Jose Mourinho, Tottenham Hotspur’s manager, supports the completion of the 2019/20 English Premier League season.
In his interview with Sky Sports, Mourinho spoke about the possibility of continuing the Premier League despite the ongoing crisis of the coronavirus.
"If we play the remaining nine matches this season it will be good for every one of us," Mourinho told Sky Sports.
The organizing body of the Premier League is expected to discuss the possibility of resuming the competition behind closed doors in early June.
However, the decision won’t be taken without the approval of the British government that will have to evaluate the whole situation.
Additionally, Mourinho addressed his opinion on the possibility of playing the remaining matches behind closed doors.
“I'd like to think that football is never behind closed doors. With cameras, it means that millions and millions are watching. So if one day we walk into this empty stadium, it will not be empty, not at all," Mourinho added to Sky Sports.
Ever since the outbreak of the coronavirus in Wuhan, China during early December 2019, around 3,300,000 people were infected and about 233,000 people died because of the disease.
As a result, several countries such as Italy, Spain, and England decided to suspend their sports competitions.
