Everton eye Martinez if Moyes decides to leave Goodison Park in the summer.
Everton will target Roberto Martinez if David Moyes decides to quit the Merseyside club at the end of the season. Moyes reached 11 years in charge at Goodison Park last week but Wigan boss Martinez spoiled any celebrations with his team's crushing 3-0 victory in their FA Cup quarter-final.
While Moyes says he will wait to see how the season ends before he commits himself, he could be tempted by a job in the Premier League or abroad, particularly in Germany, where Schalke are the latest to show interest.
The Everton boss is set to have talks with chairman Bill Kenwright about the way he would like the club to go but he said recently: 'The way I'm hearing the players talk, they are as ambitious as I am and probably a lot of futures hinge on where we finish and what we do during the rest of the season.'
Martinez is seen as an ideal replacement, having performed brilliantly to keep Wigan in the Premier League over the past three seasons.
He faces another battle to avoid relegation but his achievements, especially in guiding them to their first-ever FA Cup semi-final, will put him high on the wish list of a number of clubs this summer.
He was linked with Liverpool before Brendan Rodgers took over and has remained loyal to Wigan chairman Dave Whelan, despite several opportunities to move on.
But the 39-year-old Spaniard remains ambitious and the chance to manage one of England's most established football clubs would be hard to resist.

Wouldn't want Martinez to be truthful, as with Laudrup. Sure they've done well here and there, but it's not the answer if we really are to move forward. Maybe too much attention in taking Wigan to an FA cup semi-final this year and of course that result against us a few weeks ago, but that was mainly due to our own ineptitude and putting on a garbage performance. What if Millwall win their semi-final ? Will Martinez still be as highly regarded ? If by some upset, he can actually lead Wigan to the FA cup this year, that will get many peoples attention, but I don't believe he's truly done enough to justify even looking at. And Keeping Wigan in the EPL ? Hasn't Moyes done just that for the most part of his tenure. What I mean is, safety first policies and just stability. Would Martinez really make that much of a difference, and could it get us a first trophy after so many years. I just feel skeptical that's all. I just don't think this is a suitable candidate to take us forward.
Does Moyes really have the ambition he mentions ? He's being paid an awful lot of salary and one of the best paid managers in Europe, but where's the end product? Once again, I really do feel I want him gone by start of next season.
