ITV made their announcement on Wednesday during his side’s controversial post-season friendly against Newcastle in Australia.

Roy Keane, Ian Wright and Gary Neville are just three of the other big names with will joining Postecoglou as a pundit for their coverage.

talkSPORT’s Sam Matterface and Ally McCoist have also been named as commentators at Euro 2024.

Of course, talkSPORT will also have you covered for the tournament with a star-studded line-up and live commentary of all 51 games.

Postecoglou’s first year in the Premier League has certainly provided its challenges despite a solid final standing.

Form from New Year’s Day onwards was fluctuant and they lost five of their last seven matches to miss out on Champions League football.
