Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho says he is in the midst of the worst period of his trophy-laden career.

The Premier League champions have two wins from seven games this term and followed up last Saturday's draw at Newcastle with a midweek Champions League loss at Porto.

"I define (this) as the worst period of my career, with the worst results in my career," said Mourinho, whose side host Southampton this weekend.

"I get it as a fantastic experience - an experience that I don't want to repeat. I want to finish tomorrow and win some matches again.

"I think it comes too late, to come after 15 years is too late, but it's something that is helping me to be better, a great negative experience."

Mourinho insists it is not the most challenging period, but the worst in terms of results.

He said: "I had a big challenge all the time. It's the worst results. I've never lost so many matches. That's a fact."
