Eva carneiro quits football

Eva Carneiro is a Portuguese doctor who was the Chelsea FC team doctor from 2009 to 2015. She gained international attention in 2015 when she was involved in a controversy surrounding a player injury during a match against Swansea City.

On August 8, 2015, Carneiro was criticized by Chelsea manager José Mourinho for going onto the pitch to treat Eden Hazard, who had been injured during the match. Mourinho felt that Carneiro had delayed the game by treating the injury and that she should have let the medical staff on the sidelines handle the situation.

The incident sparked a heated debate about the role of doctors in football and the pressure they face to balance their medical responsibilities with the demands of the game. Carneiro was subjected to intense media scrutiny and was eventually forced to leave her position as Chelsea's team doctor.

In a statement, Carneiro said that she had been subjected to "unacceptable" pressure and bullying by Mourinho and the club, and that she had been forced to leave her position due to the "toxic" atmosphere at the club.

Carneiro has since spoken publicly about the incident and the impact it had on her career. She has also spoken about the importance of prioritizing player safety and well-being in football, and has advocated for greater recognition of the role of medical staff in the sport.

It's worth noting that Carneiro's decision to leave Chelsea was not solely due to the incident with Mourinho. She had been considering leaving the club for some time due to the demands of the job and the pressure she faced from the media and the fans. However, the incident with Mourinho was a catalyst for her decision to leave the club and to pursue other opportunities in her career.
