Spain coach Roberto Martinez is facing strong criticism after Portugal's early elimination from the World Cup, a result that many media outlets have described as another failure in his international career.
Martinez managed Belgium for several years, having at his disposal what was considered the "golden generation" of the "Red Devils". However, he failed to win any trophies, while the best result remains third place in the 2018 World Cup.
After leaving Belgium, the coach took charge of Portugal, but his adventure ended with the Lusitanians' elimination from the World Cup. Despite a squad full of quality footballers, Portugal failed to meet expectations.
Martinez's contract with the Portuguese federation ended after the World Cup, but his future could once again lie with a national team. According to British media reports, the Spaniard has been offered the job of Scotland, who parted ways with Steve Clarke after another disappointing campaign.
If he accepts the offer, Martinez will face a historic challenge: leading Scotland past the group stage of a major tournament. The Scottish national team has never achieved that goal in its 13 appearances at World Cups and European Championships.
