Mourinho revisits ex-Chelsea doctor Carneiro row, says gender played no role

Former Chelsea doctor Eva Carneiro and physiotherapist Jon Fearn were removed from first-team duties in 2015 following a controversial incident on the sidelines during a Premier League match. Mourinho, then Real Madrid head coach, addressed the incident in his Netflix documentary, insisting that gender played no role in his reaction.

Carneiro and Fearn entered the pitch to treat Eden Hazard, who had been substituted, leading to Chelsea being left with nine players. Mourinho believed Hazard was not injured and that the medical staff were impulsive and naive. Despite the controversy, Chelsea later issued an unreserved apology to Carneiro and her family, with Mourinho not publicly apologizing at the time.
