Roberto Martinez Montoliu

Roberto Martinez does not boast of a brilliant career as a footballer, but connoisseurs say that as a coach he has raised a golden generation of players in Belgium. The coach himself is sure that the team will give the country a reason to be proud of itself more than once.

Roberto Martinez Montoliu was born in the Catalan city of Balager in July 1973. The head of the family, also Roberto, is a football manager by profession. The mood of the household depended on how his team played - first "Balager" and then "Lerida". If i won, the weekend was fun. If i lost, everyone was darker than the clouds.

The family watched, talked, breathed football. Therefore, his son knew from an early age the inside of this game: training sessions and medical reports, scouting and meetings with young people, obligations with the press and contract negotiations.

Roberto started his career as a midfielder at the local Balager. At the age of 16 he left home for the Real Madrid club, then returned, and in 1995 went to England to play for Wigan Athletic in the third division of the national championship.

In six years, Martinez has scored 17 goals, won the Football League Trophy and the Player of the Year title. The Spanish trio, which, in addition to Roberto, included Isidro Diaz and Jesus Seba, became a favorite of the English public, as then legionnaires in the teams of Foggy Albion were a rarity.

In 2001, the free agent moved to Motherwell, Scotland, but failed to make it into the first team. He spent half of the following season at Walsall, playing in the Champions League- D1, and then joined Swansea City. Wearing the captain's armband, Roberto led the team from The Second to the First League, in 2006 earned another trophy of the Football League.

Martinez's playing career ended at Chester City. In 2007, a new page in the biography opened - the Welsh called the former player to the position of head coach. The following season, Swansea won Ligue 1 and qualified for the Champions League for the first time in a quarter of a century. The successful coach drew the attention of Scottish Celtic, but the Spaniard preferred another former club - Wigan.

The coach led the Latins to a sensational victory over Manchester City in the 2012/2013 season and winning the FA Cup. But we had to sacrifice a place in the Premier League. Under Martinez, Wigan were almost constantly balancing between divisions, but Roberto's personal rating among APL managers remained high.

After all, he knocked out Everton in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup and deprived him of the chance to qualify for the Europa League. Unsurprisingly, the toffee's biggest shareholder, Bill Kenwright, saw only Martinez as Liverpool head coach and paid Wigan a fee of 1.5 million.

Martinez's debut season at Everton was a success for Martinez - the team finished fifth in the league and returned to European competition after a four-year absence. Roberto has contributed to the emergence of players such as Romelu Lukaku and Gerard Deulofeu, as well as has influenced the development of the club's magnificent player Ross Barkley.

If the Spanish coach did not come to an agreement with Aston Villa and Liverpool because he asked for too much authority, then thanks to Kenwright's personal position at Everton, Martinez enjoyed full power, managed to get good players for modest money.

The contract, calculated until 2019, was terminated early in May 2016 - the manager was not forgiven two seasons at the bottom of the standings. As compensation, the Toffees paid the Spaniard a total of $10 million. When the dismissal of the mentor was talked about at the level of rumors, Roberto noticed that he is not worried about it, and the coach who thinks about himself is bad.

Martinez's departure was linked to the advent of a "new era" for Everton, driven by the emergence of a new owner, Iranian billionaire Farhad Moshiri, partner Alisher Usmanov. Moshiri planned major investments in the club's infrastructure, including the construction of a new home stadium. And the loss of "Merseysiders" high results is seen as a blow to the image, which in the business world is by no means welcome.

A month later, Everton's management got rid of midfielder Leon Osman, who has given the team 16 years, and defender Tony Hibbert, who spent 25 years at the club, without warning.

Martinez's next job could be Anderlecht, and, as the press suggested, would prevent the appointment only of his financial requests. The Daily Mirror reported that the former Everton manager wanted to see Hull City in his ranks. However, after Belgium's failure at the 2016 European Championships, Roberto replaced Mark Wilmtos as head coach of the Red Devils.

Roberto met his wife Beth Thompson in 2001 in Scotland, when he played for the local Motherwell. The girl worked as a coordinator in the West Wales Chamber of Commerce. The couple registered the marriage only after 8 years, the footballer did not attach importance to the formality. The couple raise scant daughter Llewell.

Beth is used to watching football, although her husband tries to prevent the beloved woman from repeating the fate of his mother, which the family just drove crazy with his passion for this game. As a result, Ms. Martinez was guided by the principle:

Roberto has no official Instagram or Facebook pages.

At the 2018 World Cup, Roberto Martinez, like any ambitious coach, dreamed of winning the winner's cup. Then the Spanish specialist would become the first foreign coach to win the uniform. But the Belgian team lost in the semifinal meeting to the neighbors from France.

Martinez paid tribute to the French team's defence, lamented the "lack of centimetres and concentration" for the victory and congratulated his opponents on reaching the final. In addition, the coach said that he would not neglect the final third place.

The Spanish Football Federation considered the compatriot among the candidates for the post of national team coach along with Xavi, Luis Enrique, Michel, Paco Hemes.

Bombardir.ru suggested that with the presence of players such as Eden Hazard, Romelu Lukaku, Kevin De Bruyne and Thibaut Courtois, the Belgian team is certain to win some major tournament by 2020.
