adminthe first time in eight years next season, but whether their highly-rated boss will be with them remains to be seen.
Wigan have become the first club to win the FA Cup and be relegated in the same season, but Martinez’s stock is still sky-high thanks to their epic upset against Manchester City at Wembley on Saturday.
The Spaniard is one of the favourites to take over at Everton following David Moyes’ impending move to Manchester United. And the prospect of life in the second tier may persuade Martinez that now is the time to move on after he rejected approaches from Aston Villa and Liverpool over the last two years. But for now he is playing his cards close to his chest.
“If I am honest with you it is so fresh that we have been relegated and I don’t think it is the time (to talk about the future,” he said.
“Now is not the time for individuals. When you walk into the dressing room after this match it is heartbreaking.
“In the summer, as always happens, there will be assessments and whatever happens will happen.”
It was understandable that Martinez was unwilling to focus on his own situation at such a delicate time for his club. — AFP.
