JOSE MOURINHO urged fellow Premier League managers to “stay at home and watch Bundesliga” if they are against Project Restart.
The Tottenham boss, 57, made it crystal clear that he is ready to return to the dugout when he spoke during the League Managers’ Association meeting.
According to The Mirror, Mourinho took a cheeky swipe at the managers that do not want football to return yet.
He allegedly told them: “If you don’t want to play, stay home and watch Bundesliga!”
Premier League bosses have been assured that their squads will not be rushed back for Project Restart.
Plans were in place for the top-flight to resume behind closed doors on June 12 – but that looks increasingly unlikely.
The league now looks set to restart on June 19 after getting the green light from Boris Johnson.
Mourinho, Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp and Everton’s Carlo Ancelotti are among the bosses keen for football to return as soon as possible.
But Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has said his team will need a pre-season and a month training before it all kicks off again.
And the Stamford Bridge boss has claimed that the Premier League cannot return if there is any risk to the health of players and staff.
