ITV slammed by fans for 'embarrassing' decision ahead of Euro 2024 clash between Germany and Denmark

Fans are not happy.

Legendary football commentator Clive Tyldesley is set to commentate his final ever match for ITV this weekend.

Tyldesley will end a 28-year run with ITV this Saturday as he commentates for the round of 16 tie between hosts Germany and Denmark.

This will be an early exit for the 69-year-old who won't commentate again for the broadcaster despite having seven more live games following Saturday's clash.

Tyldesley also left the Qatar World Cup following the round of 16 so his exit from the tournament won't have come as a surprise, but his departure from ITV as a whole is certainly unexpected.

The news of Tyldesley's departure was shared by his wife Susan through the social media platform X.

"My husband commentates on his last match for ITV - Denmark vs Germany - on Saturday after an incredible 28 years," she posted.

"I am so proud of him. Clive will still have a voice on his new @globalplayer podcast The Football Authorities with Martin O'Neill."

Tyldesley was replaced by Sam Matterface as ITV's number one commentator in 2020, and despite stating he was 'angry' and 'disappointed' he continued to be the broadcaster's number two up to Euro 2024.

His voice is one of the most iconic things in football, and his partnership with co-commentator Ally McCoist has been a fan favourite this tournament.

Considering the love people have for Tyldesley, it is no surprise fans are gutted about the news he won't be continuing for ITV beyond this weekend.

One fan wrote: "Embarrassing from ITV,does the viewers opinion not matter? Hope sky snap him up."

Another posted: "A real shame. He is of a higher calibre than his contemporaries."

A third added: "Absolutely should be the lead commentator for TNT next season. Tyldesley/McCoist are the best commentary duo around for me. Can make any game feel more important."
