Meet football manager's wife set to replace Kelly Cates on Sky Sports Rebecca Lowe has been identified as one of Sky Sports' top targets to replace Kelly Cates after she made the decision to host Match of the Day next season.
Cates has opted to join the BBC show after Gary Lineker announced he would be stepping down from the role of host after a 25-year tenure, with duties set to be shared with Mark Chapman and Gabby Logan.
And now the Sun reports that despite Sky bosses feeling "gutted" at the loss of Cates, they have picked Lowe as a prime candidate to join the team.
Here's all you need to know about Lowe, including her previous reporting experience, the job she faces at Sky and her football manager husband.
The 44-year-old also has a comfortable working relationship with some of Sky's current pundits, including Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher, who join her on the 'It's Called Soccer' podcast.
