Roberto Martinez has opened up on the saga that saw him come close to taking charge at Liverpool before eventually ending up at Everton 12 months later.
The Spanish boss was in charge at Wigan when the Reds sacked Kenny Dalglish at the end of the 2011/12 campaign. Eventually, Swansea manager Brendan Rodgers was employed in his place, but only after talks had been held with Martinez.
The 49-year-old can argue that the fact a move to Anfield didn't materialise was beneficial, as just 12 months late he savoured his finest hour as a club manager. The Latics famously beat Manchester City at Wembley to win the FA Cup, courtesy of Ben Watson's late header.
