MARTINEZ STAYS AT WIGAN

Wigan manager Roberto Martinez has decided to stay with the club over the proposed Aston Villa move. Martinez, 37, will sign an improved three-year contract with the Latics instead of the chance to manage Villa.

"Roberto met with his chairman [Dave Whelan] earlier this week and has made the decision to honour his commitment to Wigan," read a Villa statement.

"Therefore, we have not met Roberto and we have not had the chance to discuss the vacant managerial role with him."
