Martin has wide-ranging links in the game and extensive coaching experience in the UK and internationally.
He began coaching Futsal at the age of 13 for Brazilian soccer schools, then worked his way up to Hartlepool United's Academy, Newcastle United Foundation and Academy, followed by Durham Women and Durham University Women’s team.
Martin was also the lead coach at MLS team Vancouver Whitecaps.
He was officially announced as Norwich City Women’s head coach earlier this week. As part of the club’s strategic partnership with UEA, Martin will also be the university’s women’s football programme lead as part of a newly created joint post.
Mark Heazle, head of sport and physical activity at UEA said: "We’re really excited about Martin’s appointment and about the partnership in general. We see this as a perfect way of bringing players to the university and the club, providing a pathway for talented footballers.
“Martin’s personality absolutely shone when we interviewed him and we think he is a really good fit for our students and we look forward to seeing what he can achieve with them this year.”
Martin said: "The values of the club match a lot of the values I have, in terms of being people-centric.
“I’ve had a great reception and welcome from the players; I’ve been super impressed with their attitude and application.”
