Career

Martínez started playing football at the age of eight on the streets of Rocha, a town of 30,000 people. His father was a truck driver and there was little money available. Martínez, father of the Austrian national player Sebastián Martínez , began his career in his Uruguayan homeland in 1966 at an amateur level with the first team of Club Atlético Lavalleja, which is based in his native city . In 1968 he switched to the professional field at the Rampla Juniors . He then played for the Club Atlético Peñarol from 1970 and joined the Austrian Bundesliga club FK Austria Wien on January 7, 1973 together with Julio Morales . The transfer fee for these two players was one million shillings at the time. By 1978 he played 188 league games for the Viennese and was able to score 39 goals. One of the highlights of his playing career at Austria Wien was the converted penalty in the 5: 4 final score in the penalty shoot-out against FK Dynamo Moscow (April 12, 1978), which brought Austria Wien to the European Cup final. In the final against RSC Anderlecht, however, he was only substituted in in the final phase when the score was 0: 4.

In 1978 Martínez moved to the Wiener Sport-Club , where he was runner- up under coach Erich Hof at the side of Norbert Hof , August Starek and Alfred Drabits at the end of his first season. To this success, he contributed 20 goals this season, so that he placed in the list of goalscorers behind Walter Schachner and Thomas Parits in third place. However, he then left Dornbacher to join VOEST Linz . After a year, however, he returned to the sports club, with which he now played in the relegation battle. In the season 1981/82 with 14 goals this season he left Austria after the end of the season to earn his money in Gran Canaria at UD Las Palmas . After one season he moved back to Austria for the favorite AC , where he ended his professional career in 1985. In 1983 he finally received Austrian citizenship, but returned to his country of birth in 1985.

There he took the role of player-coach from 1985 to 1987 in the amateur area in Rocha at Palermo FC. From 1987 to 1988 and 1989 to 1990 he was in charge of the Rocha department selection . From 1993 to 1994 and again from 1994 to 1995 eer also worked in the function of selection trainer in the neighboring Maldonado department. 1996 to 1997 he took over the selection of Rocha again. In 2000 he coached the amateur club in the seaside resort of Punta del Este . He then worked from 2000 to 2002 as an assistant coach in the professional field for the team of the Tercera División of Rocha FC . In 2003 he took over the head coach position of the first team in the Segunda División , rose with the team to the top Uruguayan league and was also the team's coach in 2004.

After returning to Uruguay, he suffered severe blows of fate, his son Manuel died of a brain tumor and he himself suffered a heart attack. On December 1, 2009, he died as a result of another heart attack.
