Pere Martí Castelló (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈpe.ɾe maɾˈti]; born 22 January 1982) is a Spanish retired footballer who played mainly as a defensive midfielder, and is the manager of Villarreal CF C.

Football career

Born in Moncofa, Province of Castellón, Martí made his La Liga debut in the 2003–04 season with Villarreal CF, featuring heavily as the team finished eighth and scoring his only goal in a 2–1 away win against RCD Mallorca, on 18 April 2004.[1] He added nine matches in their quarter-final run in the UEFA Cup, but was soon deemed surplus to requirements and left for neighbours Elche CF, in the second division.

After one shaky debut campaign, Martí became an essential first-team element with Elche. At the end of 2007–08 he joined Málaga CF, which had just returned to the top level; however, mainly because of injuries, he wasn't part of manager Antonio Tapia's plans in his first year.[2]

In late August 2009, Martí was loaned to Real Murcia of division two,[3] appearing very rarely as the side was relegated. On 13 July 2010, he was released from contract from Málaga and immediately joined CD Castellón, freshly relegated to the third tier.

On 4 January 2011, aged only 28, Martí announced his retirement from professional football, citing his multiple injuries as the main reason.[4] He subsequently rejoined his first club Villarreal, acting as youth coach.
