Wigan Athletic chairman Dave Whelan is confident Roberto Martinez will stay for next season.

Martinez has been heavily linked with the managerial vacancy at Everton, with David Moyes leaving Goodison Park for Manchester United at the end of this campaign to succeed the retiring Sir Alex Ferguson.

"Roberto will make his own mind up. Roberto consistently says 'I love Wigan, I will stay with Wigan'," Whelan said.

"When the time comes he will leave for a big club, I have no doubt about that. But I think he might just stay with Wigan."
