Jeff Stelling has announced he will be leaving Sky Sports and Soccer Saturday at the end of the season.
Stelling has been at Sky Sports for more than 30 years and has been the host of the popular Saturday results show for 25 years. He made a U-turn last year after announcing his retirement as Stelling decided to stay on for one more year.

Stelling announced: “It is Groundhog Day, that time of the year when I announce that I am leaving Sky Sports and Gillette Soccer Saturday.
“This time it is true. After 30 fantastic years on Sky, you lot out there have supported me, as have Sky, but it’s time to give you a break from all the VAR rants and bad gags and over the top celebrations when Hartlepool score a goal and give someone else the chance to do this fantastic job.
“So I’ll be leaving on May 28th, we’ve got a few programs between now and then, this is the last six-hour Saturday Gillette Soccer Saturday… so we’d better get on with it!”
