Chelsea bitch: Mourinho denies calling Dr Eva Carneiro the ‘daughter of a whore’
Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho called Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro a “daughter of a whore” claims a complaint now being investigated by the Football Association.
Mourinho says he did not say “filha da puta”. He says he said “filho da puta’”, which means ‘son of a bitch’.
The Mail says “the complainant has provided video footage and, based on the expertise of a ‘native Portuguese speaker’, insists Mourinho has directed the feminine version of the insult at Gibraltar-born Carneiro.”
Mourinho was upset when Dr Eva Carneiro and Chelsea physio John Fearn raced onto the field to treat Eden Hazard during the closing stages of Chelsea’s opening Premier League game against Swansea.
The BBC’s Ben Smith notes:
FA regulations state that players and coaches can be penalised for using “offensive, insulting or abusive language and/or gestures”. Aggravating circumstances, such as the use of sexist language, can lead to a minimum five-match ban, if the accused is found guilty.
Jason Burt adds:
Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro did not report for work on Friday despite being told to do so by the Premier League club. Carneiro, who was banned from being on the Chelsea bench after being criticized by manager Jose Mourinho, has not been seen at the club’s Cobham training ground since the incident during the league match at home to Swansea City on August 8… Jon Fearn, the Chelsea physio, has continued to work during the intervening weeks although he has not, yet, been reinstated to bench duties. It is understood that Carneiro may have acted on legal advice and decided to stay away on Friday despite the club’s request.
The rest of us can wonder what’s worse, being the daughter of a whore or the son of a bitch?
