Jeff Stelling has reversed his decision to leave Sky Sports' Soccer Saturday at the end of the season, announcing he will continue presenting the show for at least another year. The 67-year-old veteran presenter, who has been with Sky for 30 years, had previously stated in October that the current season would be his last.
Stelling, a lifelong Hartlepool United fan, said on Monday that he realised he was not ready to leave "the best job in the world." He expressed excitement about moving the show forward and creating more special Saturday afternoons on Sky Sports.
The announcement ends speculation over Stelling's successor, with Sky Sports managing director Jonathan Licht expressing delight that Stelling will stay for the 2022-23 season. Licht described Stelling as a "massive part of Saturday afternoon life" and said the broadcaster looks forward to bringing more of his "broadcasting magic" to viewers.
