Chelsea manager Jose Mourinho reportedly won't face disciplinary action by the Football Association for his supposed role in the ongoing saga involving team doctor Eva Carneiro.

Mourinho allegedly used derogatory remarks in reference to Carneiro, who initially drew his ire for rushing onto the field to give medical treatment to Eden Hazard at what Mourinho says was a dangerous moment in the opening match of the season against Swansea.

But, with the evidence submitted to the FA, it appears Mourinho has been acquitted of the claims.

After analyzing audio recordings of the touchline incident, the FA reportedly said it "is satisfied that the words used do not constitute discriminatory language under FA Rules."
