Gary Lineker has announced he will step down as the presenter of Match of the Day after this season, ending a 26-year tenure. He will remain with the BBC for another year to host the World Cup and live FA Cup matches. In an interview, Lineker indicated it felt like the right time to leave, noting his desire to finish his run at a World Cup while expressing hope for England's success. He humorously reflected on the potential of a German coach leading England to victory.
Gary Lineker expressed, "If my contract had carried on until the end of next year, I'd have done it for another year, but I liked the idea of finishing at a World Cup."
He continued, "I've always said that my ambition in broadcasting is not about me, it's Can I please one day say that England have won a tournament?"
Lineker humorously remarked, "It might take a German coach to do it for us!" as he shared his hopes for England's success.
