Lionel Scaloni's side became world champion after a dramatic victory over France on penalties in Qatar two years ago.

Martinez played a starring role as La Albiceleste lifted the trophy for the third time – the first since 1986 – with his performances between the sticks earning him the Golden Glove award.

The Aston Villa stopper, who was also named the Best FIFA goalkeeper that year, landed the latter accolade for a second time this week, having helped Argentina successfully defend its Copa America crown earlier this year.

They will look to follow suit at the FIFA World Cup in Canada, Mexico and the United States in 18 months' time, and become only the third nation to win back-to-back titles after Italy and Brazil.

Should Argentina do so, Martinez vowed he would subsequently walk away from international duty.

"Is there any national team that has won two World Cups in a row?" he told local Argentina radio.

"If I become a two-time world champion with the Argentine national team, I will retire. I promise you. I'm telling you today. I will retire after that [FIFA] World Cup."
