Gary Lineker has announced that he believes it is the "right time" to step down from his role as presenter of Match of the Day, a position he has held for over 20 years. In a recent episode of his podcast, The Rest is Football, the 63-year-old expressed that his experience on the show has been "an absolute joy and privilege." However, he feels it is time for "someone else to take the helm" as the BBC prepares to implement changes to the program.
