Official: Sean Dyche pens new four year deal with Burnley

Burnley's difficult start to the season

Burnley have endured a difficult start to their Premier League season, currently finding themselves in the relegation zone having picked up just a solitary point from their opening four games.

Defeats to Brighton, Liverpool and most recently Everton have come either side of a battling 1-1 draw with Leeds United, and while Sean Dyche's men continue to battle, it is becoming increasingly difficult for the small club to remain in the division season upon season.

However, the fact that they are in their current position at all is the work of one man.

Dyche rewarded for fine work

It has been increasingly impressive to watch an ageing Burnley side continue to remain in the top flight of English football, even if their footballing methods can be seen as agricultural by football purists.

Nevertheless, they work. The club have continued to back their man, and he has continued to deliver for the Lancashire outfit. As such, it is unsurprising to see him awarded a new contract which will see him remain at Turf Moor until 2025.

It could be a difficult season for the Burnley faithful, however, with the squad ageing and having endured a poor start to the campaign. Three points against Arsenal on Saturday, however, would go a long way to hopes of staying up.
