Jose Mourinho described the worst period of his career in management as "an amazing learning process" in a television interview given days before his departure from Chelsea.Mourinho's second spell in charge at Stamford Bridge came to an end on Thursday, with the Portuguese leaving "by mutual consent" just eight months after securing his third and Chelsea's fourth Premier League title.
Before learning of his dismissal, the 52-year-old gave an in-depth interview to BT Sport - scheduled to be broadcast on Thursday - in which he insisted Chelsea's horror run of form was proving to be a valuable learning curve.
"I have to say it's a good experience," he said. "An experience that probably came too late, [it has] come after 15 years.
"I was ready to live with it, to cope with it because [of my] maturity and experience... but I can imagine that if this happened in the beginning probably my career would have been even better.
"This is an amazing learning process. About myself. About the players, I think I know everything. About myself, I still have some things to discover. And this period was important for me. I'm better than I thought."
Asked if he wanted to be measured on his response to the first major period of adversity in his time as a manager, the two-time Champions League winner said: "I prefer to be judged on my career."
