The group Women in Football have slammed the FA for taking no action against Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho following his touchline outburst at former Blues doctor Eva Carneiro.
Mourinho was seen lambasting Carneiro and club physio Jon Fearn after the pair entered the field of play to treat injured Chelsea player Eden Hazard in dying stages of the London club's Premier League opener against Swansea City.
There had been allegations that Mourinho used abusive language towards Caneiro, but an investigation from the FA found "the words used do not constitute discriminatory language under FA Rules".
Women in Football, a network of professional women working in and around football, have publicly disputed those findings.
"Women in Football (WiF) are appalled by the conclusion of the FA investigation into Jose Mourinho's conduct during, and following, Chelsea's match against Swansea on 8th August 2015," read a statement on their official website.
"Contrary to the FA's appointed expert's advice, which WiF has not seen, our own language expert made it abundantly clear that the abusive words used by Mr Mourinho on the touchline that day were specifically directed towards a woman, as indicated by the grammar of his sentence.
"Other Portuguese speakers we contacted in gathering evidence also emphasised this point. We therefore find it extraordinary that any expert or Portuguese speaker would report otherwise.
"WiF can only conclude that this latest investigation provides yet another damning example of the FA failing to tackle discrimination, specifically sexism, in the football industry."
