Adrian Chiles has left his role as ITV’s lead football host with immediate effect, with the broadcaster announcing Mark Pougatch as his replacement.

The reasons for Chiles’ exit remain unclear with neither the 47-year-old nor the channel confirming the news. Pougatch will begin his new role immediately, with his first task set to be the resumption of the Champions League last-16 and the Europa League last-32 plus England’s Euro 2016 qualification campaign.

The news comes after an announcement was made earlier this month that both Andy Townsend and Matt Smith will not have their ITV Sport contracts renewed tat the end of the season, and appears to be a complete upheaval of how the channel is presenting its football coverage.

I remember him when he was the main presenter for Working Lunch, he'd tell everyone about the depressing financial market then he'd flick his nose at the end of the program, he's a genius.

Very clever man or just extremely lucky to get such high profile jobs with so little talent.

A pity, the best football presenter of the last 20 years. Not understood by the average ex. footballer or football supporters of course.

Always worried when he was alongside Roy Keane. Keane is thee sort of chap, not unusual amongst the working classes, who should you say something slightly unusual a confused, worried look would come over their faces. You would see them become anxious and angry and physical violence could not be ruled out...This was the problem poor Adrian Chiles faced.

That's the problem when they leave the BBC and have to make it in the real world.

Terrific broadcaster, was also excellent on Working Lunch.

I found it strange a week or so ago - Chiles was a guest on a BBC quiz show - which at the time seemed a conflict to me ..
Report s.kenbo • January 23, 2015 5:32 PM GMT
I liked him presenting the football. He had a good humour about him that's very similar to Jeff Stelling mould.

He's a footy fan doing the job he loves, and that came across on screen.

Never heard of the new bloke and I'm not interested in googling him just yet!
