Jose Mourinho reveals what he will do differently at Tottenham
New Tottenham manager Jose Mourinho says he will not make the same mistakes at Spurs that he did in previous managerial roles.
The Portuguese replaced Mauricio Pochettino on Wednesday, ending an 11-month spell out of management following his sacking by Manchester United.
“I realised I made mistakes and I’m not going to make the same mistakes,” he said.
“I’ll make new mistakes – but not the same.”
Mourinho would not be drawn on what mistakes he was referring to.
His time at Manchester United came to an end last December with the club 19 points behind Premier League leaders Liverpool.
Mourinho had also fallen out with £89m signing Paul Pogba and his departure from Old Trafford continued his run of having never completed four consecutive seasons in charge of a club.
“When I don’t win I cannot be happy and I cannot change that,” Mourinho added. “That is my DNA.

“I hope I can influence my players, because if you are happy losing football matches it is very hard to be a winner.
“Sometimes you have to work with people you don’t love and work well. I have principles that I cannot change and one of those is that I don’t think I can change.”
