Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan will replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day presenters from next season, the BBC said on Wednesday, the first time the role will be shared between three presenters.

But the BBC have still f***ed it, haven’t they. Because they’ve fudged it. In Chapman, Cates and Logan what they had was an excellent shortlist from which to make a final decision. What they did not have was a final decision. Any one of the three could have taken MOTD and run with it, put their stamp on it. But now none of them can do that.

The BBC has confirmed who will replace Gary Lineker on Match of the Day. It was confirmed back in November that the former footballer, who has hosted the BBC football highlights show since 1999, will exit his long-running role at the end of the season.
