Gary Caldwell: 'Wigan Athletic players are desperate for Roberto Martinez stay'

Gary Caldwell insists that he and his Wigan Athletic teammates are "desperate" for manager Roberto Martinez to stay at the club.

Wigan Athletic captain Gary Caldwell has insisted that he and his teammates are "desperate" for manager Roberto Martinez to stay at the club.

Reports have claimed that the Spaniard is expected to make a final decision on his Wigan future today, with rumours suggesting that Everton are poised to make an official approach for Martinez.

"Everyone wants to be here next year, and obviously the gaffer is at the head of everything we do here," Caldwell told the Evening Post. "A lot of other clubs will be wanting to take him and rightly so.

"But obviously we all want him to stay here and help us to get back into the Premier League as quickly as possible. It's his decision, and it will be a big decision to make. Whatever he decides we'll wish him well, but on behalf of the players here we're desperate for him to stay."

The Latics were relegated from the Premier League following their FA Cup final victory over Manchester City.
