That is highlighted by the fact that despite his success at turning a low-budget, small town side into a relatively established Premier League team, Dyche was never poached by another club. Only Eddie Howe at Newcastle and Dean Smith at Norwich City have similar backgrounds to Dyche in the English lower divisions with Brighton's Graham Potter having learnt his trade in Sweden where Watford's Roy Hodgson also cut his teeth at the start of a long career.
Supporters, who need no reminder about the club's long wilderness years in the lower divisions in the 1980's and 90's, never turned against Dyche but there was a sense of the team becoming stale this season. The 2017-18 season saw Burnley qualify for European football for the first time in 51 years after a season in which they beat Chelsea and drew with Manchester City and Liverpool.
With his gruff voice and readiness to complain about playacting and poke fun at modern trends in the sport, Dyche has become a familiar figure for fans of the English game.
