Carneiro has since lost her place on the Chelsea bench, and the full video of Mourinho losing his temper does not look good for the Blues.

“There has to be a very good relationship between the medical staff, or the physician, and the manager,” said Rogers.

“The manager has to be able to trust the medical judgement he’s receiving and when that trust is broken, where do you go? It’s going to be difficult.”
