Mourinho: Madrid years were 'intense, almost violent'

José Mourinho has described his three years at Real Madrid as 'hard, intense, and almost violent,' stating he left without being fired and has nothing to reproach himself for.

Mourinho, now coaching Benfica, reflected on his time with the Whites ahead of their Champions League playoff clash. 'I am one of the few coaches who left Madrid without being fired,' he asserted. 'I have nothing to reproach myself for.'
