Gary Lineker has indicated that the BBC may have wanted him to step down from his role as host of Match of the Day, which he will leave next month after over 25 years. In an interview with Amol Rajan, he reflected on his departure from the football highlights program, which was announced late last year. Lineker also expressed that he does not regret his criticism of the Conservative government’s asylum policy, suggesting a desire within the corporation to bring in new perspectives.
