Sky Sports are planning on appointing Jeff Stelling’s replacement on Soccer Saturday from within their ranks.
Stelling is set to step down from his role as anchor after almost 30 years in the hot seat. The 68-year-old has played an integral role in building a show which has become synonymous with Saturday afternoons up and down the country.
But after U-turning on leaving the show 12 months ago, he confirmed that at the end of this Premier League season, he would be calling it a day. “It is Groundhog Day, that time of the year when I announce that I am leaving Sky Sports and Gillette Soccer Saturday,” Stelling said.
