Where Eva Carneiro is now - Jose Mourinho row, Chelsea exit details, buying football club

Former Chelsea physio Eva Carneiro has turned her hand to football ownership just seven years after departing Stamford Bridge.

The 48-year-old Gibraltarian spent six years at Chelsea between 2009 and 2015 before a highly-documented bust-up between herself and Mourinho led to her resigning from the Blues' medical team. The incident occurred on the opening day of the 2015/16 season during a 2-2 draw with Swansea City at Stamford Bridge.

After Eden Hazard went down injured, both Carneiro and then chief physiotherapist Jon Fearn rushed onto the pitch to attend to the Belgian. After the game, Mourinho criticised the duo, saying: "I wasn't happy with my medical staff because even if you are a medical doctor or secretary on the bench, you have to understand the game."
