Theo Walcott, Joe Hart Named New Pundits on Match of the Day

Former England internationals Theo Walcott and Joe Hart are set to replace Ian Wright on BBC's Match of the Day. Wright, an Arsenal legend, announced his departure in December after over 25 years on the show. Walcott and Hart, who recently transitioned into punditry, will join regulars Gary Lineker, Alan Shearer, and Micah Richards. Walcott has appeared on Sky Sports covering the Premier League, while Hart contributed to the BBC's Euro 2024 coverage. Wright cited personal reasons and the need for a change as factors in his decision to step down. Match of the Day is celebrating its 60th anniversary this season.
