Roberto Martinez: Leicester City’s Premier League triumph an anomaly

Everton manager Roberto Martinez said Thursday that Leicester City winning the Premier League this season was an “inspiration” to other clubs but warned against another ‘underdog’ champion any time soon.

Martinez’s men will be the opponents at Leicester’s King Power Stadium on Saturday when the Foxes are presented with the Premier League trophy after second-placed Tottenham Hotspur’s draw with Chelsea on Monday meant the leaders could no longer be caught.

Everton are currently 11th in the 20-strong division, with many fans calling for Martinez to go, but the Toffees boss said replicating Leicester’s feat would be no easy task.

“What Leicester have achieved is a great inspiration for any team sport and for any group in order to dream high and have huge expectations but I think we need to be realistic that this is not the norm,” he said.

“It’s something we haven’t seen in the modern game and I don’t think that’s going to be repeated easily.”
