Mourinho decision ‘appals’ women
Chelsea boss escapes FA punishment for sexist comment

WOMEN in Football (WIF) were “appalled” yesterday by the Football Association’s decision to take no action against Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho and clear him of making discriminatory comments towards then club doctor Eva Carneiro.

Sky cameras caught Mourinho saying “Son of a bitch” in Spanish as Carneiro and Jon Fearn rushed onto the field during the opening game of the season to treat a tired Eden Hazard. But it has since been alleged that the former Real Madrid boss called Carneiro a “daughter of a whore” in Portuguese.

The Chelsea boss then used his post-match press conference to openly criticise Carneiro, who left the club last week.
