Wigan chairman tips Martinez for Barcelona, Real Madrid

07.07.11 | Andrew Slevison



Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan believes the clubs manager Roberto Martinez can go onto bigger and better things.
The Latics owner feels the 37-year old Spanish tactician is good enough to go on and manage either Barcelona orReal Madrid.
“I think that in two, three or four years he will be at Barcelona orReal Madrid and there is absolutely no doubt about that because Roberto is a brilliant manager,” said Whelan in an interview with Goal.com.
“Roberto is one of the youngest, brightest managers around and I really do think that he will only get better and that he has everything you need to take over at one of the biggest clubs on the continent.
“There are lots of factors that make him so special but the main things that spring to mind are his overall knowledge of the game and he is always interested in developing young players.
“He is tactically very astute, mentally very tough and his man-management skills are excellent but it’s got to be remembered that he is still learning his trade in the Premier League which is the toughest, most unforgiving league in the world.
“Roberto has lots of qualities but the over-riding thing is that he has a massive desire to succeed within him that will take him to one of the very biggest clubs in Europe. I have no doubt about that.”
