Logan, Cates, Chapman to Host MOTD

Gabby Logan, who recently opened up about her challenging career journey, including being sidelined by ITV during the 2006 FIFA World Cup, is set to co-host the BBC's Match of the Day following Gary Lineker's departure. Logan, alongside Kelly Cates and Mark Chapman, will share hosting duties starting in August, with discussions among the trio ensuring a balance between their MOTD roles and other commitments. Despite having previously turned down an opportunity to present Match of the Day 2 due to family considerations, Logan expressed excitement for her new role and gratitude for the opportunity. The transition marks a significant change for the long-running show as it moves forward without Lineker, who has been a staple since 1999. Logan's career with the BBC has been extensive, including hosting major events such as the Olympics and the World Cup, further showcasing her versatility and experience in sports broadcasting.
