Burnley manager Sean Dyche has been sacked by the club ahead of their Premier League clash with West Ham this weekend. Members of his coaching staff have also been relieved of their duties as a result.
The 50-year-old has been at the helm since 2012, but it looks as though the club are going to be heading in a new direction in the years to come.
A statement on the club's website read: "Burnley Football Club can confirm the Club has parted company with manager Sean Dyche, assistant manager Ian Woan, first-team coach Steve Stone and goalkeeping coach Billy Mercer. Dyche was the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, having been in charge of the Clarets for nine-and-a-half years, overseeing a period which will go down as one of the most successful in the Club’s history.
