Mic drop: Lineker to leave Match of the Day in May

The former Tottenham, Everton, Leicester and Barcelona striker has been the leading face on the highlights show since 1999. While the BBC press office has not yet confirmed the situation, BBC News reported that the wider BBC organisation is expected to officially announce the news today.

Lineker joked about his future recently on the programme amid speculation surrounding his contract discussions with the BBC over an extension, while acknowledging his other business interests would mean something needed to give eventually.
