Gary Lineker, the beloved host of BBC's Match of the Day since 1999, will conclude his tenure at the end of the 2024/25 season after 26 years.
His departure marks a significant change in the landscape of BBC football coverage, as many fans have only known the program with him at the helm.
With the potential departures of Lineker and Ian Wright, both iconic figures in football broadcasting, the impact on viewer ratings and the show's identity is yet to be determined.
Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan are frontrunners to succeed Lineker, with endorsements highlighting Chapman's suitability as a strong successor due to his journalistic skills.
