6 reasons why Burnley’s Sean Dyche gets overlooked for football’s top jobs

4. Progressive football

Kettering-born Dyche knows his team’s limitations, he eludes to the ‘framework’, ‘ethos’, ‘structure’ of his sides continuously.

He is a very intelligent manager, knows how to motivate his teams and get the best out of different personalities.

At Burnley, Dyche likes his side to sit in deep, not dominate the ball, go long in the channels and hit opponents on the counter attack.

Isolating two games this season, albeit in the cup, against inferior opposition being Accrington Stanley and Lincoln City, shows that when the Clarets are expected to open teams up, they struggle to do that under Dyche.

This could be construed as a weakness from the big boys, who historically dominate the ball and are expected to break teams down with a certain amount vigour and style.
