Pere Martí Castelló (Valencian pronunciation: [ˈpe.ɾe maɾˈti]; born 22 January 1982) is a Spanish former professional footballer who played as a defensive midfielder, currently manager of CD Guadalajara.
Born in Moncofa, Province of Castellón, Martí made his La Liga debut in the 2003–04 season with Villarreal CF, featuring heavily as the side 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 Segunda División.
[2][3] At the end of 2007–08 he signed for Málaga CF, who had just returned to the top division; however, mainly because of injuries, he was not part of manager Antonio Tapia's plans in his first year.
[7] On 4 January 2011, aged only 28, Martí announced his retirement from professional football, citing his multiple physical problems as the main reason.
