Martinez looks to Latics' future

Wigan boss Roberto Martinez now wants to build a team capable of challenging for Europe after surviving in the Premier League. Latics' top-flight status was secured for another season after Burnley were beaten by Liverpool.It has been a difficult first season in charge at the DW Stadium for Martinez, who had to rebuild a squad after the high-profile departures of Emile Heskey, Wilson Palacios and Antonio Valencia in 2009."Now we need to build for the future and make sure that as a club we are never in this position again," the Spaniard said."I want Wigan Athletic to be challenging for Europe on a regular basis, not looking over our shoulder every season and seeing survival as the only target for the season."We have got a very exciting young squad of players, the club is in a financial position where we don't have to sell anyone and we now have a tremendous opportunity to evolve and move to the next level."
