Everton Football Club has parted ways with coach Roberto Martinez after a poor season.
Everton is currently 12th on the Premier League table. They were were beaten 3-1 by champions Leicester on Saturday and lost 3-0 at Sunderland on Wednesday. They also lost in the semi-finals of the FA Cup and League Cup this season.
In a statement, the club praised the 42-year-old Spaniard for his “utmost integrity and dignity”, describing him as a “great ambassador” who played a “key role” in developing young players.
It added that it wanted to “reciprocate” Martinez’s “commitment and dignity” by rescheduling the event, adding a “planned celebration would be inappropriate in the circumstances”.
Martinez had been with Everton for three years and won the FA cup in his first season in charge of the Toffees.
