Roberto Martínez Montoliu (born 13 July 1973) is a Spanish professional football manager and former professional player who is currently the head coach of the Portugal national team.

In 2007, Martínez began his managerial career at Swansea City and lead the club to
Early life
Born in Balaguer, Lleida, Catalonia,[1] Martínez began his career at his home-town club Balaguer in the Tercera División, playing his first competitive game for the club's youth team when he was nine years old. He played at every level of youth football for the club, before moving to Real Zaragoza at the age of 16.[2]
Playing career
Martínez made his first appearance for the
Martínez was offered the chance to move to England by Dave Whelan, Chairman of Wigan Athletic, and he signed on a free transfer on 25 July 1995, joining fellow Spaniards Jesús Seba and Isidro Díaz, who were collectively referred to as the "Three Amigos".[7] He made his debut on 12 August 1995 against Gillingham, scoring for Wigan in a 2–1 defeat. He finished the 1995–96 season as the club's top goalscorer with 13 goals in all competitions, and his impressive performances were recognised when he was named in the Division Three PFA Team of the Year, and was also voted by the supporters as the club's Player of the Year.[8]
Martínez won his first honours at the end of the following season, in 1996–97, when Wigan finished as
Released by Wigan on a free transfer at the end of the 2000–01 season, Martínez signed a three-year deal with Scottish club Motherwell in July 2001.[11] He made only eight appearances, plus eight more as a substitute, before having his contract terminated at the end of the season, after the club had entered administration a week earlier.[12]
He moved back to England to join
In May 2006, Martínez was released by Swansea on a free transfer.
Managerial career
Swansea City
With Martínez in charge, Swansea lost just once in eleven games, giving them a chance of clinching a play-off place on the final day of the 2006–07 season, but missed out following a 6–3 defeat at home against
The 2008–09 season saw Martínez preside over Swansea's first game in England's second-tier division in 24 years, which began poorly with a 2–0 defeat away at Charlton Athletic. Subsequently, Swansea's form improved and they lost only four games out of the next 30, including a number of key league victories against opponents such as Reading and Wolverhampton Wanderers. Martínez also guided his team to a 2–0 FA Cup win against Premier League side Portsmouth, who were the defending cup holders.[26]
Throughout his time at Swansea, Martínez was often linked with other managerial jobs, but he often stated that he would only leave Swansea as manager if he was "forced out."[27] As his success grew, he publicly criticised players that left the club for money or for larger clubs. In June 2009, both Celtic and Wigan Athletic asked Swansea for permission to speak with Martínez regarding their managerial vacancies, with Wigan being granted the opportunity to hold talks with Martínez.[28][29][30] After several days of negotiations, Martínez was confirmed as the new manager of Wigan on 15 June 2009, taking four backroom staff with him.[7] Martínez signed a three-year contract worth £1.5 million and was assured by Wigan chairman Dave Whelan that his job would be safe for the next three years, even if the club suffered relegation.[31]
Wigan Athletic
Martínez's move to Wigan was not without controversy. Many Swansea fans were upset that he had chosen to leave the club despite his previous comments that he would have to be "forced out" to leave the club, and he was subsequently nicknamed "El Judas" by some fans.[32][33] Martínez explained that his decision had been a difficult one to make, but felt the opportunity to manage in the Premier League at the club where he began his English footballing career was too good to turn down.[34] His first league game as Wigan manager was an away fixture against Aston Villa on 15 August 2009. Wigan won the match 2–0,[35] and was the first season they had won an opening game in the Premier League.[36]
In his first home game at the DW Stadium, however, the team slumped to a 1–0 defeat to newly promoted Wolverhampton Wanderers, and this was followed by a 5–0 defeat against Manchester United, despite being 0–0 at half time. This inconsistency set the tone for Martínez's first season in charge, with home wins against Chelsea, Liverpool and Arsenal, but also a series of heavy defeats. This included a 9–1 defeat away to Tottenham Hotspur on 22 November 2009, a club record defeat for Wigan, and the first time that a Premier League side had scored nine goals in a single match since Manchester United beat Ipswich Town 9–0 in 1995.[37]
On 26 October 2010, Martínez faced his former club Swansea in the
After a good start to the
On 17 May 2012, Wigan chairman Dave Whelan confirmed that
On 26 September 2012, Martínez was charged by the FA for comments made after Wigan's 4–0 loss to Manchester United on 15 September 2012. He accused match officials of favouring United at Old Trafford and said that Danny Welbeck should have been sent off.[42]
During the
Just three days after lifting the FA Cup at Wembley, though, on 14 May 2013, Martínez's Wigan side were relegated from the Premier League after a 4–1 defeat against Arsenal, having been in the Premier League since promotion in 2005.[46]
Everton
On 28 May 2013, Wigan chairman Dave Whelan announced that Martínez received permission to speak to Everton about their vacant managerial position.[47] Whelan said that "He (Martínez) feels he's not the man to lead us back into the Premier League".[48] Whelan said Everton chairman Bill Kenwright contacted him a week earlier for permission to speak to Martínez if talks broke down. Whelan said he gave permission "immediately", adding that he expected Everton to pay compensation of around £2 million.[49]
On 5 June 2013, Everton confirmed the appointment of Martínez as the club's 14th manager after agreeing to a four-year contract.
His first Premier League game in charge of Everton was a 2–2 draw away to Norwich City on 17 August.[54] Martínez's first league win as Everton manager came against Chelsea on 14 September. When Everton beat West Ham United 3–2 in their next game, it meant that Martínez became the first ever manager of the club to avoid defeat in his first six games.[55] However, the run did not last, as in the next fixture Fulham won 2–1 in the third round of the League Cup.[56]
On 12 April 2014, Martínez led Everton to a 1–0 win away at Sunderland to move Everton up to fourth place in the Premier League and register a club record seventh straight Premier League win, which also gave them a club record Premier League points tally with five games remaining.[57] Eight days later, Everton won 2–0 at Goodison Park to make Martínez the first Everton manager since Harry Catterick in the 1969–70 season to record a league double over Manchester United.[58] He eventually led the team to a fifth place finish in the league in his first season at the club. Martínez signed a new five-year contract after the season ended.[59]
Despite finishing fifth the previous season, Everton's
On 12 May 2016, Martínez was sacked by the club, who were 12th with one game remaining. He had guided them to the semi-finals of both domestic cups that season, but fans had protested against his management and demanded his removal.[53]
Belgium
On 3 August 2016, Martínez signed as coach of the Belgium national team, succeeding Marc Wilmots.[64] In his first match in charge on 1 September 2016, Belgium were defeated 2–0 by his birth country Spain in Brussels.[65]
Martinez's Belgians were the first European side to advance from qualifying into the 2018 FIFA World Cup after their 2–1 win over Greece.[66] During the group stage, his team won all group games and in the round of 16, came from two goals down to beat Japan 3–2. In the quarter-finals, Belgium defeated Brazil 2–1 to set up a semi-final against neighbours France, which they subsequently lost 1–0.[67] Belgium defeated England 2–0 in the third-place play-off to secure their best World Cup finish of all time.[68][69]
Under Martínez, Belgium rose to first in the
Belgium entered the 2022 FIFA World Cup as second in the FIFA ranking.[75] Despite this, Belgium were eliminated in the group stage following a 0–2 loss to Morocco and a goalless draw with Croatia, despite having beaten Canada 1–0 in the first matchday.[76] Martinez resigned after the Croatia match, revealing that he was planning on departing Belgium after the tournament, regardless of their World Cup showing.[77]
Portugal
On 9 January 2023, Martinez was announced as the head coach of Portugal, replacing Fernando Santos.[78] His first game in charge took place on 23 March in a 4–0 home win over Liechtenstein at Estádio José Alvalade in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifiers.[79] On 11 September, Martinez led Portugal to their biggest victory in international history by defeating Luxembourg 9–0 at home.[80] Martinez's Portuguese side were the one of the first European sides to advance from qualifying into the UEFA Euro 2024 after their 3–2 win over Slovakia, making it their quickest qualification to a major tournament in their history.[81]
On 16 October, Portugal secured first place in their group, following a 5–0 away victory over Bosnia and Herzegovina.[82] Following a 2–0 home over Iceland, Martinez led Portugal to a perfect qualification campaign, overtaking the record for most scored and least scored against in a qualifying campaign in the countries history, with a record of 36 goals scored and only two goals conceded, keeping nine clean sheets in the process. Portugal also became one of the few European national teams to win all of their matches for the qualifiers of the UEFA European Championship, with ten wins from ten matches, the first time in Portugal's international history.[83]
Style of management
Martínez is often credited with establishing Swansea City's
A number of younger coaches, including Graham Potter and Chris Davies, have studied Martinez's training methods and principles for possession-based football.[92][93]
