Mourinho must and should apologise to Eva. That was the gospel according to Peter Brukner.
Peter Brukner, now the Australia cricket team's doctor, said Mourinho's criticism was "100% wrong" and Carneiro should not have her role changed.
Carneiro, 41, treated Eden Hazard after he was tripped in the final minutes of Chelsea's 2-2 draw with Swansea.
It briefly left the Blues with nine men after Thibaut Courtois's red card.
Carneiro looks set to lose her place on the benchfor Sunday's Premier League match against Manchester City after Mourinho described his medical staff as "impulsive and naive", adding they did not "understand the game".
Speaking to BBC Radio 5 live,Brukner said Mourinho had "shown a significant lack of respect".
The Australian said Carneiro and physio Jon Fearn acted "correctly" by waiting for referee Michael Oliver to wave them on to treat Hazard, who he claimed should be "copping it" if he was not injured.
"It's got nothing to do with the manager," said Brukner, Liverpool's former head of sports medicine and sports science. "You don't have doctors telling a manager to play someone up front or play 4-3-3.
"The doctor was 100% correct and the manager, in my opinion, was 100% wrong.
"He should apologise and the club should ensure that the doctor and physio are not demoted as a result of this.
"She has been publicly humiliated in front of the biggest audience there is and she had not done the wrong thing."
Eamonn Salmon, chief executive of the Football Medical Association (FMA)- which represents professional medical staff in the sport, also backed Carneiro and Fearn.
