Martinez committed at Wigan

(GSM) – Wigan manager Roberto Martinez intends to stay at the club despite rumors that he will quit. Martinez has dismissed rumors that he could take over as coach of Spanish outfit Espanyol.

The Latics boss is seen as a potential replacement for under-pressure boss Mauricio Pochettino. But Martinez insists he is fully committed to the club.

He stated his priority is ensuring Wigan stay in the Premier League at the end of the season.

“We need to take any rumours as a compliment to Wigan,” said Martinez in the Daily Star.

“But we will not let them distract us from what we are trying to do.

“The next 12 weeks are the most important 12 weeks for Wigan, as regards to building a platform to allow us to move to the next level.

“My focus is totally on the next 12 weeks.”
