Jose Mourinho Escapes English FA's Action For Allegedly Using Discriminatory Language Against Team Doctor Eva Carneiro

Chelsea manager will not face FA action after expert in Portuguese linguistics was consulted over incident in Premier League game against Swansea. Jose Mourinho has escaped any Football

Association action over complaints he used abusive or sexist language towards doctor Eva Carneiro.

 

The FA had to study video and audio evidence of Chelsea manager Mourinho shouting at Carneiro during the incident on the opening day of the season that resulted in her leaving the club.

 

An FA statement read: “Following information brought to the attention of the FA regarding Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and alleged discriminatory comments made in the Premier League fixture between Swansea and Chelsea on 8 August, the FA has now concluded an investigation into the matter.

 

“The matter was brought to the attention of the FA on 8 September and led to the appointment of an independent academic expert in Portuguese linguistics to analyse the footage of the incident which included the audio recording.

 

“After receiving the report from the expert, the FA is satisfied that the words used do not constitute discriminatory language under FA rules. Furthermore, both the words used, as translated and analysed by the independent expert, and the video evidence, do not support the conclusion that the words were directed at any person in particular.

 

Consequently, on the evidence available to it, the FA will take no further action in relation to this matter.” Telegraph UK
