On 29 December 2009, Martini was named as the new manager of his boyhood club Vllaznia Shkodër, and started the work with the team on 4 January 2010.[4] He remained in the duty until the end of 2009–10 campaign, with Vllaznia Shkodër who missed the European competitions for only four points and was runner-up in Albanian Cup, losing in the final to Besa Kavajë.[5]

In 2010–11 Albanian Cup, Teuta didn't go more than the second round, where they were eliminated by Skënderbeu Korçë 2–0 on aggregate. Following the end of the season, Martini left the team after the club's president Fatmir Hysenbelliu decided not to extend his contract for the next season.[7]
