Gary Lineker is to step down as the presenter of Match of the Day at the end of the season.
He is believed to have signed an 18-month contract with the BBC that will cover the next Fifa World Cup in the US, Canada and Mexico, but will step back from the broadcaster’s football highlights programme at the end of the 2024-25 season. BBC News said that an announcement would be made on Tuesday, after the Sun first reported the story.
