TV presenter Jake Humphrey is to step back from his role as the flagship host at BT Sport as the broadcaster, seemingly, prepares to revamp its coverage before the 2023/2024 season gets underway.
Notable changes are on the way at BT Sport - which will become known as TNT Sports - while Humphrey will be replaced after fronting Premier League and Champions League shows for a decade. No confirmation on his successor has been announced - but Laura Woods and Reshmin Chowdhury have been mooted.
Humphrey, 44, will be granted a farewell and tribute during his last appearance for them which will be in the Champions League showpiece between Manchester City and Inter Milan - scheduled for Saturday, June 10 at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, Turkey.

A statement from Humphrey read: "After ten wonderful years, I am stepping back from BT. As a football fan, hosting Premier League matches, FA Cup games and European finals has meant the world to me. It has been my dream job. I've loved being a very small part of a world class production team."
Humphrey continued: "I also feel blessed to have shared the screen with legends of the game and incredible broadcasters, who have become friends, thank you all. I'm also not ashamed to say I remain hugely ambitious. Stepping back from BT will allow me space to pursue other projects and fulfil other ambitions. I'm excited.
"To everyone that's watched and commented, both good and bad, thank you! It's been a blast."
A spokesperson for BT Sport added: "We thank Jake for a huge commitment to BT Sport as a mainstay of our coverage since launch. Jake has made a massive contribution to the success of BT Sport over the past decade and will always be much-loved by all of us.
"We are looking forward to celebrating Jake with a tribute during our Champions League final coverage next month and giving him a fitting finale for his ten years on BT Sport."
