Dyche commits to Burnley despite England talk

Sean Dyche admits he would love to have a crack at managing England, but only when he has boosted his CV significantly.

The Burnley boss is one of a small number of English managers linked with the role, which became vacant when Sam Allardyce left this week.

Dyche has twice earned promotion to the Premier League with Burnley and is regarded as one of the  best young managers in the game, along with Bournemouth’s Eddie Howe – who is also hotly tipped.

And Dyche says it would be a dream come true to manage the Three Lions, but insists his future is at Turf Moor as he plots to keep Burnley in the top flight.

“Would I be interested at some point in the future? You’d want to have a go at the England job,” he said.

“My CV is not deep enough, I don’t feel, to take that on now.

“I could in the sense of ‘go on, I could have a go’ but you want to be in a position in anything in life when you’ve got the depth of knowledge and experience to actually achieve something, not just take it on because you can.

“It’s not that I wouldn’t want to do it ever, because I would somewhere down the line if it ever came my way. But I think you have to have the layers in place to make a success of it.

“There are other people out there at the moment who are in a better place to take on a challenge like that.”
