Rio Ferdinand has a new job at Qatar Open 2026Rio Ferdinand appears to have secured a fresh broadcasting position in tennis following his departure from TNT Sports, with the ex-Manchester United defender spotted conducting an interview with Jannik Sinner for Tennis TV at the Qatar Open this week. He has subsequently relocated to Dubai with his family whilst maintaining his football coverage through his YouTube channel, 'Rio Ferdinand Presents'. During a recent discussion, Ferdinand indicated his enthusiasm for pursuing opportunities outside football - suggesting his presence at the Qatar Open might signal future ventures. Whilst it's unclear whether Ferdinand's partnership with Tennis TV represents a permanent arrangement, it aligns with his ambition to embrace fresh challenges after his lengthy tenure with TNT Sports. Lorenz penned his first professional contract with Brighton & Hove Albion last summer while Tate is in the U21s squad of the Seagulls.
