  • Current host Gary Lineker has yet to say when he will leave the BBC's flagship football show

Gabby Logan is now the evens favourite to be the next Match of the Day presenter

The next Match of the Day presenter slot is something that has been regularly discussed over recent years with Gary Lineker constantly flirting with stepping down from the role.

Jermaine Jenas has long been favourite to take over from Lineker with OLBG reporting back in March that he led the betting odds as the 2/1 favourite to present MOTD next.

Jenas though was dismissed by the BBC on Thursday due to complaints about workplace conduct and he is now obviously not on the cards to present the show.

Gabby Logan has moved into evens favourite to be the next MOTD presenter after impressing viewers during the BBC's coverage of the Olympic Games earlier this summer.

Mark Chapman and Claire Balding also feature in the odds after their experience showed while hosting the Olympics and Chapman has hosted Match of the Day 2 on a regular basis too.

Chapman's many commitments across a host of sports, including football and NFL, may well mean that he can't commit to leading Match of the Day once Lineker leaves with his odds at 6/1.

What the expert says...
Gabby Logan is the evens favourite to be the next Match of the Day presenter after replacing Jermaine Jenas in the market following his sacking by the BBC on Thursday. That drama now sees Logan followed by Alex Scott to present the BBC's flagship show with Final Score's Jason Mohammed third favourite in the market.

Previous favourite Jermaine Jenas was sacked by the BBC on Thursday

Jermaine Jenas had been a lead presenter at the BBC with regular slots on The One Show seeing many suggest that he would step up as the next Match of the Day presenter.

The BBC though sacked the former footballer and pundit on Thursday after complaints were made about workplace conduct.

Jenas had his contract terminated around these alleged issues and within minutes of the sacking being announced was presenting live on talkSPORT's radio station.

He was interviewed on the channel saying he "can't really talk about it" and that he would be letting his "lawyers deal with it" when asked what would happen next.

Current host Gary Lineker has yet to say when he will leave the BBC's flagship football show

Gary Lineker still leads the way as the presenter of Match of the Day after 25 years and he has not yet said when he will leave.

Lineker has had controversial moments as presenter on the show including being suspended for tweets he had made last year.

The former player also presented the show in just his pants after making the bet that he would if Leicester won the Premier League.
