Finally! Carneiro, Mourinho and Chelsea reach settlement
Chelsea and Jose Mourinho have reached a settlement deal with ex-team doctor Eva Carneiro “on confidential terms”.
The case was due to be heard over seven to 10 days until June 24, but a settlement has been agreed on the second day of Carneiro’s employment tribunal.
It is understood that Carneiro, who left Stamford Bridge in September after being dropped from first-team duties, rejected a £1.2m settlement from the Premier League club after she claimed constructive dismissal.
However, after Mourinho turned up for the second day’s proceedings in Croydon on Tuesday afternoon, an agreement was reached.
Mourinho publicly criticised the Gibraltar-born doctor after she went onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea City on the opening weekend of the 2015-16 campaign.
