Kelly Cates, Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan will replace Gary Lineker as Match of the Day presenters from next season, the BBC said on Wednesday, the first time the role will be shared between three presenters.

Kelly Cates will share presenting duties of the BBC's flagship football show Match of the Day, along with co-hosts Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan.

The new Match of the Day presenter line-up has been confirmed for next season. It was announced in November that Gary Lineker would be stepping down at the end of the current season, calling time on 26 years in the job.
