Iker Casillas has admitted he has finally warmed up to the style of management from club boss Jose Mourinho.

The Spain and Real Madrid captain has revealed Mourinho's methods are very different to his national team manager Vicente Del Bosque and it took time to adapt.

"The difference between Vicente del Bosque and Jose Mourinho is enormous," Casillas told TF1.

"I have known Del Bosque since I was 12 years old at Real. Later I was lucky enough to meet him again with the national team, so it is safe to say we know each other extremely well.

"He is more of a calm person, with a peaceful character, which you cannot quite say about Mourinho.

"However I have learnt to appreciate Jose in the past two years. The relationship between coach and captain must always be fluid and although we admittedly have some disagreements, we are in accordance most of the time.

"The media tend to exaggerate the tense moments, but this is something you have to live with at Real."

Casillas spoke ahead of Spain's friendly international against China.
