I didn't manage EXPECTATIONS
Liverpool Echo
|February 27, 2026
ROBERTO MARTINEZ said his biggest regret about his time at Everton was a failure to manage expectations after his stunning first season in charge.
Martinez led the Blues to a haul of 72 points in his first campaign - overseeing 21 Premier League wins as the club finished fifth in 2013/14. The consequence of that success was heightened belief going into the following season, one in which Everton had to manage the demands of the Europa League alongside the league campaign.
A disappointing season followed as his squad struggled to replicate the form of the previous year and Everton fell to 11th place - the same position recorded under Martinez the next year, his final season in charge.
Portugal boss Martinez reflected fondly on his time on Merseyside this week when he was invited onto the latest episode of Sky Sports show Stick to Football, released on Thursday.
