In this post you can find all the latest next Soccer Saturday host odds as beloved host of 25 years Jeff Stelling announced he will step down.

Next Soccer Saturday Host Favourite

Julian Warren has emerged as the frontrunner at 1/2 in the next Soccer Saturday host odds. Warren is the favourite to replace veteran broadcaster Jeff Stelling on Soccer Saturday after the host announced that this would be his last season as host of the show.

Julian is a familiar face to sports fans across the country as an established presenter on Sky Sports. After fifteen years working for Sky, Warren is now one of the senior anchors at Sky Sports News and host of Soccer Special. He has frequently deputised for Stelling on Soccer Saturday leading the bookies to chalk him up as their most likely candidate and a safe pair of hands to take the hotseat.

The second favourite to take over from Stelling as host of the popular show is Mark Chapman who presents BBC’s 5 Live and MOTD2. Chapman has been installed at odds of 9/2 in the betting due to his impressive career resume to date.

Up next in the next Soccer Saturday host odds at 8/1 is a familiar face to Sky Sports viewers in David Jones. The English sports presenter currently hosts Sky’s Super Sunday and Monday Night Football coverage so it’s clear that the bosses at the network trust Jones with the big time gigs.

Laura Woods is the most likely female contender at 10/1. The 35-year old has been involved in some big time events of late such as when she hosted ITV’s 2022 FIFA World Cup coverage. Given her experience and popularity Woods could represent great value in the betting to take over as host of Soccer Saturday at her current odds.

Micah Richards is another name that is in the running to be the next Soccer Saturday host at odds of 20/1. The former Manchester City fullback quickly became a fan favourite among UK and Irish viewers for his contagious laugh and high energy that he brings to whatever coverage he takes part in.

Richards has even managed to knock a few laughs out of the notoriously serious Roy Keane. ‘Big Meeks’ would be a very popular appointment among football fans which makes him an interesting bet at 20/1 odds.

Other less likely runners for the Soccer Saturday host role at BoyleSports include Kirsty Gallacher and Gabby (both at 50/1) and Adrian Chiles at 100/1.

Jeff Stelling’s Legacy As Soccer Saturday Host

Sharon McHugh, spokesperson for BoyleSports said:

“Soccer Saturday will never be the same again without the legendary Jeff Stelling and Sky will have a very tough job choosing a replacement. The safest pair of hands looks to be Sky’s own Julian Warren but there were rumours Sky were circling Mark Chapman before so we could see a tight race for the title emerge.”

Jeff Stelling will present Soccer Saturday for the last time on the final day of the Premier League (28^th May) ending a long and successful career.
