Martinezs Managerial Record
The Spaniard began his managerial career in 2007 when he took charge of Swansea City. In the eleven games of the season, Martinez managed to only loose once and then again in the League One play-off final. In his second year at the club he gained promotion to the Championship only to leave to manage Premier League side Wigan in 2009. Martinezs win ration for Wigan is only 26.77%, his 127 matches he has managed them Wigan have only managed 34 wins. After Kenny Dalglish was released of his duties at Anfield, it looks like Martinez is the number one option for JW Henry. Having not finished in the top four of the Premier League for two consecutive years, Martinez has a challenge especially when the majority of his time at Wigan was fighting relegation.
