Jose Mourinho who she claims allegedly abused her as she went on to the pitch to treat Eden Hazard during the opening day of the Premier League season last August.
She claims that, as she ran on to the pitch during the game with Swansea, Mourinho shouted "filha da puta", meaning daughter of a whore in Portuguese, at her.
The London South Employment Tribunal panel in Croydon received an extract from Mourinho's statement in which he conceded that he used the term "filho da puta", meaning "son of a whore", but insisted he had been using it throughout the match.
He said: "Filho da puta is a phrase I often use, all of the players know it. There is no sexist connotation in the use of the phrase - it is just like saying 'f*** off'.
"In the world of football, a lot of swear words are used." he said
Doctor Carneiro, in her opening argument, argues that the expression is "very offensive" and that it was not aimed at her client because she was the "only female pitch-side".
Carneiro is claiming constructive dismissal against Chelsea and have turn down a settlement of a
£1.2 million pound ($1.7 million) from the London club British media reported, citing employment tribunal paper.
