Can Leicester pry away Sean Dyche from fellow strugglers Burnley?

A strong candidate for this post is the ‘Ginger Mourinho’, Sean Dyche, who has been in charge of Burnley since late 2012. In his career with the Clarets, he has achieved promotion from the Championship twice, in 2013/14 and 2015/16. And there is no doubt that due to his good work and with better talent at his disposal he could do better and Leicester undoubtedly have that.

Burnley’s spectacular home form this season is in no small part down to Dyche and his tactic. The Englishman has perfected the 4-4-2 system in England to a degree that any manager would find enviable. With those two banks of four, Burnley are very hard to break down, and this system could suit Leicester extremely well, with the pace of Jamie Vardy, Ahmed Musa and Islam Slimani more than capable of hurting teams on the counter.

It would be interesting to see if he were to be appointed immediately and how these tactics would work out in the Champions League.
