During the Portugal vs. Turkey match on Saturday evening, Mark Pougatch, the host of ITV’s Euro 2024 coverage, shocked viewers by revealing that pundit Danny Rohl was resigning with immediate effect. Pougatch has been co-presenting the tournament alongside Laura Woods since it kicked off in Germany on June 14th. Portugal, led by Cristiano Ronaldo, age 39, came out victorious with a 3-0 scoreline as Group F was the focus, with both Portugal and Turkey aiming for their second win in a matter of days. Pougatch announced during the review after the game that Rohl, who manages Sheffield Wednesday, would be stepping down to go back to the UK for pre-season training. Man United should intervene in Bayern Munich’s agreement to acquire a replacement for Casemiro. Rohl was in the studio on Saturday with Eni Aluko, a retired professional football player who played for England, Chelsea, and Juventus, as well as Gary Neville, a former English footballer who also played for Manchester United. Many viewers were disappointed to hear about Danny Rohl’s departure from ITV as his insightful commentary had gained him a large fanbase. One viewer expressed their disappointment on X by saying that it was a shame he had to leave for Sheffield Wednesday pre-season, as he was a valued voice on the panel. Another viewer thanked ITV Sport for choosing Rohl as a pundit. Choosing something different can be a welcome change, especially when it’s tempting to stick with well-known brands. His valuable input has been enlightening and educational.
