Sean Dyche breaks silence after controversial Burnley sacking with classy statement paying tribute to former club... as he sets his sights on 'the next phase of my career'

Sean Dyche has broken his silence following his shock sacking as Burnley manager last week as he reflected on the 'truly incredible times' he enjoyed at Turf Moor.

Dyche was dismissed by the relegation-threatened Clarets on Friday after 10 years at the club following a poor run of form that has plunged them closer to the drop.

Burnley have won only four Premier League matches all season and are four points adrift of safety with seven games remaining, starting with the visit of Southampton on Thursday night.

Dyche - who is thought to be in talks with Burnley over a £15million contract settlement - has been replaced on a temporary basis by caretaker boss Mike Jackson.
