Jose Mourinho has admitted his “hurt” over his sacking by Tottenham last year, but has insisted that he is happy at Roma. Mourinho departed north London the week before the League Cup final – which Tottenham subsequently lost 1-0 under interim boss Ryan Mason – with the news largely overshadowed by the club’s involvement in the European Super League debacle. Spurs were seventh in the Premier League when Mourinho was relieved of his duties, finishing in the same place at the end of the season and only just scraping Europa Conference League qualification.
