Jose Mourinho insists that his last two managerial roles with Manchester United and Tottenham should be seen as a success, as he prepares for his next venture with Roma.
The Portuguese boss has put pen to paper on a three-year deal at the Stadio Olimpico and was unveiled to the press on Thursday afternoon.
The role comes just months after he was sacked by Tottenham - on the week of their Carabao Cup final against Manchester City.
It is an event that still rankles with the 58-year-old, and he insists that his time at Spurs was far more fruitful than the abrupt ending suggests.
