ITV’s Euro 2024 team is much smaller than the BBC’s.
Just two great, stalwart presenters Mark Pougatch and the universe Laura Woods. They will be joined by nine selected experts, including a former referee Christina Unkelwho will be taking on the role of refereeing commentator for ITV this summer.
ITV have done an excellent job of establishing a balance with their punditry team. They sent the BBC Ange Postecoglousignature, and an Australian to be a TV hit. Sheffield Wednesday manager Danny Rohl is set to provide sound strategic analysis, while the popularity of Roy Keane, Graeme Souness again Gary Neville will undoubtedly provide a soundbite or two.
Eniola Aluko, Ian Wright again Karen Carney and they are part of the inspection team.
Sam Matterface returns as ITV’s lead commentator for the Euros, albeit with the absurd voice of Clive Tyldesley will be heard again this summer. Lee Dixon, Andros Townsend and the most popular Ally McCoist will serve as the broadcaster’s three commentators.
