Eva Carneiro's Life Now After Jose Mourinho Chelsea Row and Net Worth
Eva Carneiro, the former Chelsea FC team doctor, has spoken out after Jose Mourinho's comments in a new Netflix documentary. The documentary, centred around Mourinho's career, has brought back the infamous 2015 row between Mourinho and Carneiro.
What Happened?
The incident occurred on the first day of the 2015/16 season, when Chelsea were drawing with Swansea City. Eden Hazard went down injured, and Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn rushed onto the pitch to treat him. Mourinho was incandescent, branding them 'impulsive and naive.' Carneiro was subsequently stripped of her first-team matchday duties and resigned a month later.
Why It Matters for Chelsea FC
The row between Mourinho and Carneiro had a significant impact on Chelsea FC's season, which ultimately spiralled out of control. Mourinho was sacked just months later. The incident also led to a high-profile legal battle between Carneiro and Chelsea FC.
What Comes Next?
Since leaving the Premier League, Carneiro has thrived. She established her own private practice, the Sports Medical Group, located on London's prestigious Harley Street. She also acted as a private consultant for the Aspetar Orthopaedic and Sports Medicine Hospital in Qatar ahead of the 2022 World Cup. In 2024, Carneiro transitioned from club employee to club owner, becoming an investor in semi-pro side Lewes FC.
Life Now: Net Worth and Football Club Ownership
Carneiro, now 52, has a net worth of around £10m. She has not completely turned her back on English football, either. In 2024, Carneiro transitioned from club employee to club owner, becoming an investor in semi-pro side Lewes FC. The Isthmian League club is famous for its pioneering stance on women's football.
