complaints that he allegedly used discriminatory language
towards former club doctor Eva Carneiro, the Football
Association (FA) has announced.
Carneiro was stood down from first-team duty following a
touchline row with Mourinho during the closing stages of
Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea City at Stamford Bridge on
August 8.
Earlier this month, her departure from the club was confirmed.
The flashpoint occurred after Carneiro and physiotherapist Jon
Fearn - also subsequently withdrawn from first-team affairs -
entered the field to treat Eden Hazard, with Mourinho displeased
that his team would momentarily be reduced to nine men
following Thibaut Courtois' red card earlier in the second half.
The FA analysed footage of the incident, including the audio
recordings, following accusations the Portuguese used abusive
language towards Carneiro.
The governing body said in a statement on Wednesday that it "is
satisfied that the words used do not constitute discriminatory
language under FA Rules".
