This would be a completely different direction.
Following Burnley’s impressive start to the Premier League season, it’s inevitable that their manager, Sean Dyche, has received plenty of praise for the job that he’s done at Turf Moor.
Their 0-1 win at Goodison Park was Burnley’s third win of the season but aside from those victories, the Clarets have also picked up draws against Liverpool and Spurs.
As is the norm when any successful English manager has a good spell, Dyche’s name has been spoken about with regards to a bigger club – no offense intended to Burnley supporters.
Ian Wright was a guest on BBC Radio 5 and he feels that Dyche might be “pushed” into taking the England job at some point.
Having joined the Lancashire club in 2012, Dyche has led Burnley to two Premier League promotions and one relegation in the last five seasons.
“I believe he (Dyche) is somebody that needs to go, at some stage, to the next level. He’s an experienced manager in the Premier League. He’s done his groundwork with relatively smaller teams and got them set up well,” said Wright.
Regarding the idea of Dyche taking over at the Emirates, it’s one that the iconic Arsenal striker is supportive of.
Granted, Wenger only recently signed a new two-year deal at Arsenal following an intense period of speculation about his future, but Wright believes that Dyche could ultimately replace the Frenchman at Arsenal.
“Yeah. The fact is would they give Sean Dyche that job? In respect to how his team sets up when they’re defending, he’s obviously got acumen – but will he get a job like that? I don’t think he will. They’ll probably start touting him for the England job. We’re so bereft of any manager that’s good enough, that can take on the England job. If he carries on like he is he’ll probably be pushed into that role,” he said.
