LONDON -- Jose Mourinho has said he is a better manager after 11 months away from football and is "humble" as he prepares to manage Tottenham.
Mourinho was appointed Tottenham head coach on Wednesday, hours on from the club announcing Mauricio Pochettino's sacking as manager. The move is his first step into management after he was sacked by Manchester United in 2018.
Asked whether he is a better manager after time away, Mourinho said: "I think so. You are what you are but I had time to think about many things.
"I realised that during my career, I made mistakes and I'm not going to make the same mistakes.
