Popular Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro has been handed an effective demotion after the club axed her from her regular role as match day doctor. It means that Carneiro will no longer be on the Chelsea bench and will now only operate from the club’s training base at Cobham.
Carneiro ran on to the pitch with Jon Fearn to treat Eden Hazard during Chelsea’s 2-2 draw with Swansea. At that time, Chelsea were down to ten following the red card to Thibault Courtois, and Hazard’s treatment meant that he was taken out of play, effectively reducing Chelsea to nine players. Mourinho was furious (check Video below) and called his medical staff “naive” after the game
VIne- Mourinho reaction after Carneiro runs on to pitch to treat Hazard
Gibraltar born Carneiro, 41, is of mixed Spanish and English parentage, was appointed to first team duties at Stamford Bridge in 2011 during Andre Villas-Boas’ reign.
Eva Carneiro’s reaction to hazard injury was borne out her genuine assessment of the injury situation. Serious injury demands prompt and urgent response and that is exactly what she did. After all life is more important than victory. Mourinho must be circumspect in dealing with such situations next time. Eva had been hardworking and dedicated to Chelsea over the years and her career must not suffer at the expense of this one-off action.
Mourinho
You stupid morron……..you should be sacked
Coaches don’t win games; the players do. If Jose Mourinho didn’t have the budget provided by Roman Abramovich, he will be managing a team of nobodies. This coach is full of himself, but he has been buying trophies for most of his career. I would like to see how Mourinho fares managing Watford, Norwich, Villa, Bournemouth etc. He would be fighting relegation. Now he thinks he knows better than a medical doctor. This deluded manager should be sacked. Chelsea have won trophies while managed by below average coaches such as Roberto Di Matteo & almost won the European Champions League under Avram Grant. The Blues don’t need Mourinho; coaches have little impact on a club’s performances in modern soccer.
mourinho must be a joker if he carries on with this attitude of demoting people, i see nothen wrong for eva going into the pitch to treat hazard. mourinho should have a rethink
