Roberto Martinez salutes the crowds on the streets of Wigan.
Roberto Martinez was left in no doubt how much Wigan fans want him to stay on as manager as the club celebrated their FA Cup triumph with a parade through the town centre.
The squad and the backroom staff boarded an open-top bus at their Christopher Park training ground before making their way into the Market Place, where thousands of supporters were waiting to welcome them.
Relegation from the Barclays Premier League certainly had not dampened the spirits of Latics fans as they once again revelled in the shock 1-0 victory over Manchester City nine days ago that earned Wigan their first major trophy in their history.
As Martinez took the microphone, he had to ask the crowd to quieten down as the chant of, “Roberto Martinez, we want you to stay”, filled the air.
