Dyke in blast at Mourinho over Chelsea doctor row

FOOTBALL ASSOCIATION chairman Greg Dyke has accused Jose Mourinho of committing ‘a failure of personal judgment and public behaviour’ in his treatment of Chelsea’s former team doctor Eva Carneiro.

On a day when FA board member Heather Rabbatts launched a stinging attack on the governing body for its ‘ seriously disappointing’ handling of their investigation into allegations that Mourinho called Carneiro ‘filha da puta ’ (daughter of a whore), the details of an explosive letter from Dyke emerged.

Sent to FA council members after Wednesday’s FA board meeting, Dyke wrote: ‘Personally, I don’t think Mr Mourinho comes well out of the whole saga — he clearly made a mistake in t he heat of a game and should have said so, and apologised.

‘While Mr Mourinho has breached no rules, it was cl early a failure of his personal judgment and public behaviour.’

Meanwhile, Rabbatts, a lawyer, said in a statement yesterday: ‘The FA’s reaction to the treatment of Dr Eva Carneiro has been seriously disappointing.’
