Martinez to take over at Everton after Wigan agree £1.5m compensation... and boss sets sights on Kone, McCarthy and McManaman

Everton will appoint Roberto Martinez as their next manager after agreeing a £1.5million compensation package with Wigan.

The 39-year-old Spaniard will succeed David Moyes and will look to bring in assistants Graeme Jones and Kevin Reeves, along with goalkeeping coach Inaki Bergara and conditioning coach Richard Evans in a new-look Everton backroom team that may yet find room for Phil Neville, Alan Stubbs or David Weir.

Chairman Bill Kenwright had wrestled with the dilemma of who to replace the much-lauded Moyes who established Everton as one of the top six sides in the country on a limited budget. Kenwright was determined to find the right character who could maintain Everton's upward momentum.




He had held talks with a number of candidates including Porto's Vitor Pereira and Red Bull Salzburg general manager Ralf Rangnick, yet ultimately Martinez's Premier League experience helped sway the Everton chairman.

Although the fact Martinez took Wigan down last season understandably concerned Kenwright, the manner of Wigan's FA Cup final victory over Manchester City and the free-flowing attractive football Wigan regularly produce has proved tempting for the theatre impresario.

Martinez will immediately look to recruit some of his Wigan side with striker Arouna Kone and midfielders James McCarthy and Callum McManaman on his wishlist.

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan confirmed that a compensation package has been agreed with Everton for the services of Martinez.

He told BBC 5Live on Monday night: 'I agreed terms with the chairman at Everton, Bill, about 6 o'clock this evening. Bill and myself have sorted out the compensation and Roberto is free to do a deal with Everton now if he wants.

'I gave Roberto permission to speak to Everton last week. He came back and told me it had gone well, I think he was down to the last two or three on the list, and then their chairman rang me to discuss the compensation deal and we agreed that this evening. It sounds like he'll be the next Everton manager but, football being football, sometimes you can be wrong.

'Everton are a very honest club and Bill is a very honest person. We get on very well together and I trust him and Everton like I hope he trusts me.

'Sometimes I like to wind the chairman at Everton up. We have had some really entertaining games between Everton and Wigan over the years and when I said I didn't think it was a big enough club for Roberto I was winding up Bill and their supporters. It is a big club, no question.

'Everton are the next step before Roberto goes to the very top. We had coffee this evening. We are still very good friends and will be friends for the rest of our lives. He is a brilliant manager, a very nice person and very honest.

Sod the Malky. Time to do the Cha Cha Slide in the street CityGent.

So lets all do the Malky

About time,be interesting to see how they do with Martinez next season.

Thank God for that.

Thank God for that.

Everton and Wigan have agreed a compensation package for manager Roberto Martinez, according to Dave Whelan.

Martinez has been the favourite to take on the managerial vacancy at Goodson Park since David Moyes quit Everton for Manchester United last month.

The Toffees are now set to hold discussions with Martinez in the next 24 hours to finalise details of his contract on Merseyside.

Martinez informed Latics owner Whelan last week that he had decided to quit his post this summer following the club's relegation to the Championship.

The Spaniard is Wigan's most successful manager after winning the FA Cup in May with a 1-0 victory over big-spending Manchester City at Wembley.

Whelan has always made it clear that he would never stand in Martinez's way if he wished to move on, although he wanted a fair price.

Wigan will now be able to start their own search for a new manager, which is expected to begin at the end of the week.

Vitor Pereira of Porto and former Schalke coach Ralf Rangnick had been among the other names linked with the Everton role and chairman Bill Kenwright previously insisted Martinez was not the only candidate, but it looks as though the Spaniard's appointment will be confirmed this week.

Thank f**k for that

In response to regrettable and somewhat premature reports earlier this evening, Everton Football Club are continuing discussions with regards to the vacant managerial position.

Whilst positive moves are being made, the Club will officially announce details as and only when they are agreed and completed.
