Martinez: Winning trophies is addictive

Everton boss Roberto Martinez says he is keen to experience the addictive feeling of winning silverware with the Merseyside club.

The Spaniard led Wigan Athletic to the FA Cup courtesy of a shock 1-0 final win over Manchester City at Wembley in May, but then left to move to Goodison Park at the end of the 2012-13 campaign.

And he is now keen to bring trophies to his new club, with Everton having failed to secure silverware since lifting the FA Cup in 1995.

Once you win silverware it is an addictive feeling. I do feel that that is something we want to continue here, Martinez told the club s official website.

At Everton, with the significance, tradition and history, it (winning silverware) needs to be part of our DNA. We all know how difficult it is to win silverware but it is important to start setting those goals as dreams.

It is something where we can drive each other on to achieve, because it is important that we can share those emotions and feelings together.

Clearly, once you get that taste you want more and we need to make sure that we get that together at Everton.

Everton finished as runners-up in the FA Cup in 2009 and were defeated at the quarter-final stage by Martinez s Wigan last season.
