Jeff Stelling Makes Sensational U-Turn On Retirement, Will Continue To Host Sky Sports Soccer Saturday

​​Jeff Stelling has confirmed he will be STAYING on to host Sky Sports' Gillette Soccer Saturday in a stunning U-turn. 

Stelling, 67, has hosted the programme since 1994 and had announced this season will be his last.

But Sky Sports have just revealed that the legendary host will continue to present the show next season.

"Sky Sports is my home, and the Soccer Saturday team are a big part of my life," said Stelling.

"As the end of the season approached, and I was preparing to say goodbye, I realised that I was not ready to blow the final whistle and leave the best job in the world.

"I am thrilled to be staying, and excited about moving the show forward and creating more special Saturday afternoons on Sky Sports."

Stelling will stay on as host of Soccer Saturday for at least the 2022/23 season, per Sky Sports.

Unbelievable Jeff!
