Jose Mourinho claims to be a much cooler character as he prepares for his first home game in charge of Real Madrid since 2013 against Real Sociedad on Wednesday night.
But the 63-year-old conceded his relaxed demeanour might not last if his latest group of Galacticos fail to bridge the eight-point gap that saw them finish second in last season's LaLiga behind rivals Barcelona.
Mourinho began his latest spell in charge with a hard-fought 2-1 win over Espanyol at the weekend and believes he has seen enough to keep his notorious temper at bay for the time being.
"For years now I've felt calmer, with more control over my emotions," said Mourinho, whose first spell had its most controversial moment when he poked then-Barcelona coach ****** o Vilanova in the eye after a Spanish Super Cup tie in 2011.
"But we will have to face difficult and frustrating situations that will come, which haven't come yet because we won the first match and I haven't seen anyone slacking off yet.
