Sean Dyche has done wonders at Burnley

Sean Dyche is a throwback to English managers of yesteryear: honest, hardworking and placing an emphasis on defending and teamwork.

The Burnley manager succeeded Eddie Howe as the manager of the club in 2012 and has stayed with the club even though they were relegated in the 2014-15 season after just one year in the league.

The Burnley management stood by him and he was even offered a new contract in 2016 for his good work. The Clarets returned to top division football in 2016-17 after they gained automatic promotion by winning the Championship.

He was linked to the Everton job, which eventually went to Sam Allardyce, but signed a new contract earlier this year, which will see him at the club till 2022. The 2017-18 season was a dream season for Dyche as he helped the club finish 7th in the table, above the likes of Everton and Leicester City.
