Outgoing Premier League chief Richard Scudamore says that a breakaway European super league involving English clubs is unlikely to happen.

Outgoing Premier League chief Richard Scudamore has cast doubt on the possibility of a breakaway European league featuring the top sides from across the continent.

Scudamore, who will step down from his post by the end of the year, said that there is no need for a new competition because the Champions League works in its current format.

The 58-year-old's comments follow remarks by former Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger, who previously claimed that the formation of a Euro super league is inevitable and suggested that the competition could push all Premier League games to midweek.

"We are not going to give up weekends," Scudamore told BBC Sport.

"There's no way we're going to give that up. We're the most successful league in the world and nobody can come along and tell us to do that.

"Also, the Champions League works right now. It's a huge success.

"Look at this season. The games were fantastic, Liverpool's run, the excitement, the goals. There's nothing that needs changing and therefore we will be making sure that doesn't happen."

Scudamore has held his post for almost 20 years, having joined the Premier League in 1999.
