Metro says that a “humble Jose” insists he has learnt from the mistakes he made at Manchester United.
“I always thought that these 11 months were not a waste of time,” he added. “They were months to think, to analyse, to prepare. You never lose your DNA, you never lose your identity, but I have time to think about many things.
“During my career I have made mistakes… I realised I made mistakes. I’m not going to make the same mistakes. I’ll make new mistakes - but not the same.”
Mourinho’s first match in charge of Spurs is a London derby away at West Ham United tomorrow lunchtime. Kick-off at the London Stadium is 12.30pm (GMT) and the Premier League fixture is live on BT Sport.
