Burnley have a two-step plan to appoint an interim manager until the end of the season, before installing a permanent choice when the curtain falls on the campaign. That's according to The Athletic who claim the Clarets are intent on making the right appointment for the long-term future of the club.
The decision to part ways with Sean Dyche was one that shocked the Premier League, with the 50-year-old praised for the work he's done at Turf Moor. The former Watford centre-back has been in charge for over a decade and has kept the club in the Premier League since winning promotion in 2015-16, later taking the Clarets into Europe.
Burnley's under-23 manager Mike Jackson took charge of their 1-1 draw with West Ham at the weekend, aided by academy director Paul Jenkins and club captain Ben Mee. The process to find Dyche's successor is underway, but their decision to appoint an interim coach could work in Leeds United's favour.
