Martinez could be set for assistant managers role

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

Goal.com (I know) are stating City are lining up Roberto Martinez as Manuel Pellegrini assistant.

Can't post link but it makes sense with our holistic approach and rumours have been on going.

I doubt he'd want to play second fiddle to anyone.
He's a decent manager in his own right, and like you
rightly say it is Goal :)

Would be funny just to piss Uncle Dave off.

It would be a surprise for sure, but if it was with the view that he'd been told that he'd be in line after Pelligrini you could maybe see why that's preferable to Everton (no disrespect).

Still think it's highly unlikely though.

I wonder if DW has had a dream about this one?

Re: Martinez set for assistant managers role

I really can't see it,regardless of our standing,he will certainly have his own ambitions of making a managerial impact at the highest level without the need to revert to an assistants role.

He has served his time at Wigan and Swansea before and will now be looking to the next rung,i don't envisage that at City.

I could certainly see the opportunity as a step in the right direction for someone like Uwe though!<br /><br />-- 18 May 2013 08:09 --<br /><br />MAN CITY TARGET MARTINEZ AS PELLEGRINI'S ASSISTANT

Manchester City are considering an offer for Wigan Athletic manager Roberto Martinez to become Manuel Pellegrini's assistant.

The Malaga boss is expected to be unveiled as Roberto Mancini's successor within the next two weeks but The Sweeper understands that City are lining up a surprise bid for Martinez after the Spaniard masterminded Wigan's shock FA Cup victory at Wembley last Saturday.

The 39-year-old's future at the DW Stadium remains unclear following Wigan's relegation from the Premier League, while Martinez, who is Everton's first-choice candidate to replace David Moyes, is set to meet with the club's chairman Dave Whelan for talks next week.

It is not known who Pellegrini wants by his side at the Etihad Stadium next season but City have previously been ambitious in their recruitment for the assistant manager position after attempting to make Brendan Rodgers the second in command to Mancini just 18 months ago.

No quotes,nothing........speculative at best.

certainly not the 'factual' claim of the thread title.

Love Uwe but if anyone is to come in IMO he will be of Spanish origin or connected to la liga and also have experienced the Prem.

Martinez ticks the boxes so does Laudrup at Swansea.

Re: Martinez set for assistant managers role

No chance, I'd have thought. Why would Martinez take a step down in his career, role-wise? I would guess that he will get a manager's job at a bigger club sooner or later, even if he doesn't get the Everton job.
