Jose Mourinho suggested Eva Carneiro should work with Chelsea Ladies after she ran on to the pitch during a game with Swansea, the former first-team doctor claims.
The 42-year-old alleges the former Blues manager sexually discriminated against her and is bringing an employment tribunal against him and the club.
Dr Carneiro claims she experienced a number of issues, including a lack of action by Chelsea following sexually explicit chanting at various away games - in particular at Manchester United and West Ham - and a lack of female changing facilities.
Eva Carneiro (AAP)She also argues that she was not provided with a club suit, and regularly had to endure sexually explicit comments from her colleagues.
As well as alleging that she was called a "filha da puta" - daughter of a whore - during the Swansea game on August 8 last year, Dr Carneiro says the abuse continued into the dressing rooms.
She alleges Mourinho told Chelsea medical director, Paco Biosca: "If they don't know how to do their jobs and they don't understand the game you get other ones. You have to understand the game."
In her written opening remarks, Mary O'Rourke QC, for Dr Carneiro, submits: "Not understanding the game is a common allegation put to women in the football world."
