Ex-Everton boss Martinez agrees terms for Portugal job

Former Everton and Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez is set to take charge of Portugal.

Martinez has a 'verbal agreement' in place to become the next man in charge of the Portugal national side.

Martinez left his role as Belgium manager after they failed to make it out of the Group Stage of the World Cup, but he now looks set to take over another international role.

The Spaniard spent six years in charge of the Belgium side after he left Goodison Park in 2016 following three years at Everton.

According to David Ornstein, Martinez is set to take up the role at Portugal towards the end of next week and had plenty of interest at club and national level.
