Club career edit
Nicknamed Chepe, Martínez came through the Instituto Nacional de Apopa to earn himself a contract with Atlético Marte in 2000. He then had a short spell at San Salvador F.C. before joining Luis Ángel Firpo with whom he spent a couple of years. In 2007, he moved to Alianza, only for him to return to Marte two years later.[1]
In 2010, he apparently finished his career to take up cycling,[2] but in 2011 he took up coaching youth players.[3]
