Everton last Thursday parted ways
with their manager Roberto Martinez after a poor season. The departure ends a
three year reign of Martinez who joined the club in 2013/2014 season guiding
the Toffees to a 5th place finish in the league in his first year averaging 1.6
goals per game and a 1.0 goals conceded per game with a win ratio of 55.3%. The
Spanish manager ended his tenure at the Merseyside with 1.6 goals per game, 1.4
goals conceded per game and a win ratio of 26.5%.

Everton Football Club had issued a
statement explaining their regrets and also gave thanks to the former handler
for his dedication and commitment to work at the club.
In the statement, Everton Football
Club stated “Roberto has been a great ambassador for the club, conducting
himself at all times with the utmost integrity and dignity”. And further
acknowledged he secured the club its highest league point total, a place in the
last 16 of the Europa League and appearances in both domestic cup semis.
The 42 year old had made impact in
the attack line of the Toffees with the force of the likes of Ross Barkley and
Romelu Lukaku but it’s the defense that they have suffered most which leaves
them 12th in the league with
44 points. With a miserable record for fewest home points in a season,
records show Everton has dropped 18 points from a winning position this season.
The Spaniard later expressed his
gratitude towards the chairman who understood and supported his vision and also
for the privilege of becoming an Evertonian. Martinez offered his sincere
thanks to the players and staff at the club.
