Chelsea issues apology to ex-doctor in case settlement
Print Edition
CHELSEA’S former doctor received a public apology from the Premier League club yesterday after reaching a settlement at the start of an employment tribunal where she was claiming victimization and discrimination by former coach Jose Mourinho.
Chelsea’s contrition, which prevents further damaging claims about the club’s treatment of a senior female employee being aired in public, came 10 months after the incident that led to Eva Carneiro’s exit.
In last season’s Premier League opener in August, Mourinho accused the medical staff of being “naive” for treating Eden Hazard on the field with Chelsea already down to 10 men. Carneiro, who was dropped from first-team duties, accused Mourinho of shouting an insult and subjecting her to sexual discrimination.
Carneiro had previously rejected a settlement of 1.2 million pounds (US$1.7 million) offered by Chelsea, which fired Mourinho four months after the incident after a poor start. Mourinho has since been hired to coach Manchester United.
The Carneiro tribunal was due to start yesterday, a day after both sides in the case published their key lines of legal arguments. But the attorney for Chelsea and Mourinho instead announced a settlement had been agreed to at the Croydon Employment Tribunal in south London.
“We are pleased to be able to tell the tribunal that the parties agreed a settlement on confidential terms,” Chelsea lawyer Daniel Stilitz told the tribunal.
