The ‘voice of football’ STILL without British commentary job months after leaving talkSPORT
CLIVE TYLDESLEY is still without a British commentary job months after leaving talkSPORT.
The “voice of football” is set to be off air for the upcoming weekend of the new Premier League season.
Tyldesley stepped down from his role with talkSPORT over the summer.
He is set to continue to lead American network CBS’s coverage of the Champions League.
However, Tyldesley does not have a regular TV or radio gig lined up in the UK.
He was previously ITV’s chief commentator for more than two decades until 2020.
His absence from this season’s coverage comes after another of British football’s most iconic voices left the commentary booth.
Martin Tyler bid an emotional farewell to Sky Sports at the end of last season.
Meanwhile, talkSPORT have announced a new addition to their presenting line-up ahead of the new season.
Jeff Stelling has been confirmed as Laura Woods’ replacement on their breakfast show.

Woods left her role after being named as one of the faces of TNT Sports following their rebrand.
As for Stelling, he said goodbye to Soccer Saturday after over 25 years at the end of last season and has since been replaced by Simon Thomas.
Stelling will start his new role in December and work alongside Ally McCoist on Mondays and Tuesdays.
For now, McCoist will work with Natalie Sawyer and Andy Townsend until Stelling’s arrival.
On Wednesdays, Alan Brazil and McCoist host while Gabby Agbonlahor joins on Thursdays and Arsenal Invincible Ray Parlour on Fridays.
