Reports Say Gareth Southgate to Host BBC Sounds Series 'One Of A Kind'

Multiple outlets report he will front a leadership-focused interview show for the broadcaster’s audio platform, with the BBC declining to comment.

Overview

  • Stories in UK media say the former England manager has agreed to present One Of A Kind, described as his first formal role since leaving the national team.
  • The series is reported to feature in-depth conversations with leaders and winners from business and other industries rather than sports figures.
  • Coverage says the show will launch in a podcast-style format on BBC Sounds, with the option to be filmed and potentially appear on TV or iPlayer later.
  • Reports put Southgate’s expected fee at about £50,000 for the series, citing unnamed production sources.
  • A BBC spokesperson has declined to confirm the hire, and Southgate has recently said he is not seeking an immediate return to management as he works on a leadership book and business projects.
