  • Jose Mourinho's past conflict with former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro has resurfaced 11 years later.
  • The dispute is highlighted in a new Netflix documentary about the Portuguese football manager.
  • Mourinho commented on the situation, questioning if Carneiro profited from sharing her story.

The long-simmering feud between football manager Jose Mourinho and former Chelsea team doctor Eva Carneiro has reignited more than a decade after their public clash. The controversy, which erupted during a 2015 match, is now a focal point in a new Netflix documentary about Mourinho.

Carneiro, then Chelsea's first-team doctor, faced criticism from Mourinho after she and head physio Jon Fearn entered the field to treat an injured player, Eden Hazard, during a game against Swansea. Mourinho publicly accused her of leaving him with too few players on the pitch. The incident led to Carneiro's departure from the club.

Eleven years on, the dispute has resurfaced, prompting a comment from Mourinho himself. He alluded to the situation in relation to the Netflix documentary, suggesting that Carneiro might have financially benefited from recounting the story. "I hope they made money telling the story in the documentary," Mourinho reportedly said, referencing the film that delves into his career.
