Jose Mourinho set to be hauled before full tribunal

Jose Mourinho and his former club Chelsea appear to be heading for a public employment tribunal after lawyers apparently failed to reach a settlement with ex-team doctor Eva Carneiro.

Dr Carneiro was criticised by former Chelsea manager Mourinho and dropped from first-team duties after she rushed on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard during a draw with Swansea on the opening day of the Premier League season last August.

She is suing Chelsea for constructive dismissal and has a separate personal legal action against Mourinho, who left the club in December, for alleged victimisation and discrimination.
