Rio Ferdinand has confirmed he will step down from his role as a pundit with broadcaster TNT Sports.
The former Manchester United and England defender, 46, has worked for the company, previously known as BT Sport, for 10 years but will step aside to focus on “other business interests” and time with family.
Ferdinand’s last game will be Saturday’s Champions League final between Paris St-Germain and Inter Milan in Munich (20:00 BST).
“Since retiring from football, it has been a privilege talking about the game I love for a decade,” Ferdinand said in a statement posted on his X account, external.
“I want to acknowledge the tremendous support from the team behind the scenes, whose hard work often goes unseen but has been essential to our success.”
