Mourinho In Trouble As Eva Carneiro Rejected £1.2 Million Settlement Fee by adedemmy: 3:01pm On Jun 06, 2016 |
The 42-year-old former club physio's employment
tribunal began on Monday, while Jose Mourinho is
expected to give evidence Former Chelsea physio Eva
Carneiro rejected a settlement offer of £1.2 million
before her employment tribunal, official documents
have revealed. Carneiro's tribunal began in Croydon
on Monday with the case expected to run over seven
to 10 days. The 42-year-old doctor was publicly
criticised by Mourinho for running on to the pitch to
treat Eden Hazard in the closing stages of Chelsea's
draw with
Swansea City on the opening day of the season last
August.
Carneiro, who was called "impulsive and naive" by
Mourinho, was then stripped of her first-team duties
before she left the club in September.
Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against
Chelsea and also has another case against Jose
Mourinho for alleged victimisation and
discrimination.
Mourinho was not in south London on Monday but is
expected to give evidence.
The former Chelsea boss, who was confirmed as
Manchester United's new manager last month, has
admitted to using the Portuguese phrase "filho da
puta", which translates to "son of of a b***h or
LovePeddler", towards Carneiro but has denied that his
words had any sexist connotations.
An extract from Mourinho's statement, which was
read out by the panel, said: "Filho da puta is a phrase
I often use, all of the players know it. There is no
sexist connotation in the use of the phrase – it is just
like saying 'f**k off'.
"In the world of football, a lot of swear words are
used." Carneiro argues that Mourinho used the term
as a sign of abuse.
Mary O'Rourke QC, who is representing Carneiro,
said: "He uses the word 'filha' because he is abusing
a woman." Chelsea have confirmed that an "open
offer" of £1.2m has been made Carneiro as a
settlement fee. A statement on behalf of Chelsea and
Mourinho stated: "The respondents have taken these
steps only
because they believe that it is in no-one's interests
that this dispute should be determined through
litigation.
"They are conscious that, whatever the facts of the
matter, it is likely to be widely and incorrectly
assumed that they could have avoided this coming
tribunal." |
