Martinez plays down Everton links

, 9 May, 1comment  |  Jump to most recent
Roberto Martinez says that any attempted contact from Everton regarding their managerial vacancy "would be a waste of time at the moment" as the Wigan boss continues his club's quest for FA Cup glory and another escape from relegation.

Martinez is the current favourite among bookmakers to replace David Moyes after the Everton boss' decision to take over at Manchester United this summer, but he is not considering anything while he has four important games for which to prepare before the of the season.

Martinez was asked if he had been approached by Bill Kenwright regarding the Everton post but he was quick to insist that his focus is entirely on the Latics.

"No, no, no. It would be a waste of time for anyone at the moment. The most important aspect is to be as ready as we can for Saturday, and then we've got another two incredible finals in the league."

"This is the peak time for Wigan Athletic, and we need to make sure we are ready to allow our fans to be very, very proud and enjoy a really strong ending to the season. That's what we have to fight for."

After mounting an astonishing Houdini act to avoid the drop last season, Wigan are currently three points from safety in the Premier League with three games to play in addition to the FA Cup Final against Manchester City.
