Swansea defender Alan Tate says that he has no sympathy for his former manager Roberto Martinez.

Swansea City defender Alan Tate has claimed that he has no sympathy for Wigan Athletic boss Roberto Martinez.

The 29-year-old spent over two years under Martinez's leadership at Swansea, but Tate believes that the Spaniard's current predicament at the Latics doesn't deserve sympathy from him.

"He knows what he was getting himself into," BBC Sport quotes Tate as saying. "Don't get me wrong he's a nice fella and I'd like him to do well but not when we play against them.

"You always want to beat old managers and old team-mates and it's good that we have. As for feeling sorry for him, he's in a well paid job and there's people a lot worse off than Roberto."

Wigan are bottom of the Premier League table, clinching just one win from their last six fixtures.
