Chelsea, Eva Carneiro Agree on Confidential Settlement

Chelsea and former team doctor Eva Carneiro agreed to a confidential settlement Tuesday in relation to her allegations of unfair dismissal, as well asย sex discrimination and harassment against former manager Jose Mourinho.ย 

Rags Martel of ITV News was the first to report that Chelsea and Carneiro came to terms. Chelsea later released a statement on the matter, per Ben Rumsby of theย Daily Telegraph:

Carneiro was banned from the club last year after running onto the field to treat Eden Hazard during a match against Swansea City.

She also released a statement Tuesday, per Rob Harris of the Associated Press:

Carneiro alleged that Mourinhoโ€”who is now the manager at Manchester Unitedโ€”shouted a sexist slur at her when she treated Hazard, perย Robert Boothย of theย Guardian. It was also reported that Carneiro initially turned down aย ยฃ1.2 million settlement offer in favor of a hearing.

According toย Matt McGeehan and Nina Masseyย of theย Dailyย Mirror, Mourinho admitted Monday to shouting "son of a bitch" toward Carneiro, but he denied the comment was sexist in nature.

Mourinho was fired by Chelsea in December after a poor start to the 2015-16 campaign that resulted in the Blues finishing a disappointing 10th in the EPL standings.
