Bob Bradley believes he should have been given more time at Swansea.
Bradley was sacked by the struggling Premier League club on Tuesday after just 11 games in charge.
The American picked up two wins since succeeding Francesco Guidolin at the club in October and leaves with the Swans 19th in the table.
"I don't think it's the correct decision," Bradley told Sky Sports News HQ's Jim White on talkSPORT.
"I believe in my work and I certainly knew that I was going into a difficult situation and I also understand that when you go in, the clock's already ticking, so it's not like you're expecting all sorts of time.
"The discussions we had always included the work that needed to be done in January - we had talked about players.
"I'm frustrated because I feel like every place I've been, I've been able to put my stamp on the team in terms of the mentality and the tactics.
"I knew when I arrived at Swansea [that] the most difficult thing was just to secure points, and that any new football ideas needed to be introduced very gradually.
"What we needed more than anything was just to do well enough to give us a platform... and I'm disappointed in myself that, in the short run, I couldn't make that happen.
"I think they [the club board] need to realise that the work was good and even though the results haven't been what we would have wanted, turning around a team at the bottom of the table and low on confidence is one of the most difficult things you can do as a manager.
"I knew when I came that I had to prove myself and I'm disappointed that in the short run, we couldn't do that, but it's football and I don't make excuses.
"In the whole time that I've been here, I have never made excuses, I've never thrown a player under the bus - I've taken responsibility because I believe that's how you lead.
"I hope that somewhere along the line, I can find another opportunity to challenge myself and keep moving forward."
