Ian Holloway joins Sky Sports as Football League analyst

Ian Holloway is named as a Sky Sports Football League analyst for the upcoming season.

Former Millwall manager Ian Holloway has joined Sky Sports as a Football League analyst for the upcoming season.

The 52-year-old, who has managed Blackpool and Crystal Palace during his career, will provide insight across three of the League's divisions - the Championship, League One and League Two.

Holloway joins the punditry team in the wake of Sky sealing a five-year partnership that allows the broadcaster to show 172 live Football League fixtures.

"I can't wait to get started working as an analyst for Sky Sports," Holloway said. "With 127 Football League matches this season exclusively live, there's no better time for me to join the UK's leading sports broadcaster.

"I love Sky Sports' football coverage and I look forward to sharing my thoughts and insight with football fans up and down the country."

Sky Sports head of football Gary Hughes added: "Ian Holloway is a fantastic new addition to our Football League lineup. Promotions, playoffs and relegations - he's seen it all, and he'll share his experiences, passion and analysis of the game with Sky Sports viewers throughout the season."

Holloway's first appearance in his new role will be on August 7, covering the Championship match between Brighton & Hove Albion and Nottingham Forest.
