Jose Mourinho’s legal case with Dr Eva Carneiro has been settled ‘on confidential terms’.
The pair have reached a quick settlement after an
ongoing dispute since the latter’s sacking by former club Chelsea last season.
Dr Carneiro had claimed to be the victim of discrimination after her
dismissal by the Blues, which followed a touchline row between herself
and Mourinho during the first game of last season.
Both parties have released statements after the conclusion of the
case, though details of the settlement have remained confidential.
Chelsea’s official club statement had an apologetic tone, thanking
Carneiro for her work undertaken during her time at the club, and
putting on record that they believe she was acting in the players’ best
interests, despite Mourinho appearing to berate her for entering the
pitch to tend to Eden Hazard.
