Mourinho admits he shouted “son of a b****” towards Eva Carneiro

It came as a shocker when Jose Mourinho confessed that he shouted “son of a b****” towards Eva Carneiro. However, the Portuguese strictly denied the phrase has any sexist connotations.

Carneiro has claimed a constructive dismissal against Chelsea and also has taken a separate, but connected, personal legal action against Mourinho. The former Chelsea doctor left Stamford Bridge back in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination.

The case, which is anticipated to be heard over seven to 10 days until June 24, opened at Croydon Employment Tribunal in south London on Monday but has a possibility to be settled down at any time.

All three parties must agree to a settlement for the tribunal, which would be accessible to the public and the media, to be averted.

The tribunal panel was read an extract from Mourinho’s statement in which he admits that he used the Portuguese term “filho da puta”, meaning “son of a b**** or whore”, but that he had been using it throughout the match.

He 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*** off’.

“In the world of football, a lot of swear words are used.”

Referring to footage of earlier on in the August 8 match against Swansea, the former Chelsea manager claimed that he had also been using the term then.

He further said Cesc Fabregas had also used the Spanish equivalent of the term when a Chelsea player was fouled during the game.

In his statement, Mourinho said: “Cesc and I both speak English well, but in the heat of the game we both swear in our mother language.

“Eva was not on the pitch at that point in time.”

Meanwhile, Dr. Carneiro alleges that Mourinho used the term “Filha da puta”, meaning “daughter of a bitch or whore”.

Ms. O’Rourke said: “He uses the word ‘filha’ because he is abusing a woman.”

She added that Dr. Carneiro heard the term “clearly from behind her” as she ran on to the pitch.

It was also claimed that Carneiro was offered some £1.2million to settle outside of the tribunal.

A skeleton argument submitted to the tribunal 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.”

Private hearings in January and February took place without a resolution and but the case will now proceed to the tribunal.

Witness statements and documents – including texts and emails – would likely be made public, while Carneiro, Mourinho, and representatives from Chelsea could be called to appear as witnesses.

This legal proceeding could actually overshadow the start of Mourinho’s chapter at Old Trafford after he was named Louis van Gaal’s successor on May 27.

Chelsea have always declined to comment on the case and supported Mourinho even after he was sacked.
