Clive Tyldesley will commentate his final game for ITV this Saturday - ending a legendary 28 year-run with the broadcaster.

His wife Susan confirmed the news on social media on Thursday, meaning that Germany's clash with Denmark will be his last match in the commentary booth for the channel.

Tyldesley has continued to work with ITV, despite his disappointment at losing his role as their lead commentator back in 2020.

It will be an early exit for Tyldesley from the competition, as he will leave despite ITV showing a further eight games including the final on July 14.

Addressing his upcoming departure and his partnership with long-time co-commentator Ally McCoist, he told the Athletic: 'I love his company, I love his company on the air, it's nice when other people enjoy it but it's not our decision to make.'
