Burnley have sacked manager Sean Dyche after 10 years at Turf Moor.

The club have parted company with the 50 year-old - the longest-serving manager in the Premier League - following the disappointing 2-0 defeat to Norwich last weekend.

Dyche, who has been Burnley's boss since 2012, departs with the club facing a battle to avoid relegation from the Premier League.
