The TV presenter has formed a great partnership with the Arsenal legend alongside Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards on the US network’s Champions League coverage
Kate Abdo has signed a new exclusive four-year deal with American broadcaster CBS Sports to anchor their Champions League coverage.
The 41-year-old is widely recognised as one of the best TV presenters around and has been praised for her work on the US network's coverage of Europe's leading club competition.
She has been a major part of the broadcaster's focus on football since 2020 after previously working across a number of countries, including in the US, the UK and Germany.
Abdo has continually displayed her unique presenting qualities while she is also fluent across different languages.
CBS's coverage of the Champions League over the past campaign has generated much attention.
The four-person panel of Abdo, Thierry Henry, Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards continue to win plaudits for their footballing insight, the chemistry between the group and their comical flair.
There has also extra reporting from both legendary Danish goalkeeper Peter Schmeichel and renowned journalist Guillem Balague.
Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola appeared on the channel after they lifted the Champions League in Istanbul on Saturday and was gushing in his praise.
He claimed he was a fan of Abdo and said the CBS show is the 'funniest in the Champions League this season'.
The Spaniard even revealed he is always looking out for updates on Twitter from the show and enjoys watching the various clips.
Abdo - who previously worked for Sky Sports - revealed live on air on Saturday after some encouragement from Richards that she had extended her contract with CBS.
She then joked: “Listen, you could cut me now and I would bleed CBS.”
The exclusive deal with CBS means fans will only be able to see the presenter on the channel.
The US broadcaster has the rights for the Champions League until the end of the 2029-30 season.
