Sean Dyche is poised to sign a new contract at Burnley this week as four Premier League clubs seek to fill managerial vacancies.
Dyche is ready to commit his future at Turf Moor in the next 72 hours unless there is an unexpected late approach and the 49-year-old will remain the longest-serving manager in the top flight having been appointed in 2012.
His new deal is a coup for Clarets owner Alan Pace who bought the club last season and will include an increased buy-out clause to ward off suitors.
With Dyche effectively about to be taken off the market, Nuno Espirito Santo has emerged as the key figure as to who will be appointed elsewhere.
