"After 23 years, last year's 70th anniversary was his final show." The BBC confirmed Gary Lineker's departure as co-presenter of the Sports Personality of the Year ceremony.
Lineker's decision to step back follows the news that he will stop hosting Match of the Day, although he has signed a contract extension with the BBC.
In a statement, Lineker expressed, "I'm delighted to continue my long association with BBC Sport and would like to thank all those who made this happen."
Lineker will continue to host the MOTD Top Ten podcast and his popular The Rest is Football podcast, focusing on football news and personal stories.
