ManU Manager José Mourinho Set To Face Former Chelsea Doctor Eva Carneiro In Court

José Mourinho’s first public act as the ManU manager "could be to defend himself in the employment tribunal brought by the former Chelsea first-team doctor Eva Carneiro against the club, which is scheduled to begin on Monday," according to the PA. Carneiro "is claiming constructive dismissal against Chelsea and has a separate, but connected, personal legal action against Mourinho, who left the club in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination." The case against Chelsea "is anticipated to be heard over seven to 10 days" until June 24 at Croydon Employment Tribunal but it could be settled at any time. The parties "must agree to a settlement for the tribunal, which would be accessible to the public and the media, to be averted." 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" (PA, 6/5).
