#PLStories- Burnley boss #SeanDyche signs new long-term deal at Turf Moor #BURNLEYFC

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has signed a new deal at Turf Moor which runs until the end of the 2024-25 season. Dyche, the longest-serving manager in the Premier League, joined the Clarets in 2012 and has achieved two promotions from the Championship. He also led the club to European qualification for the first time in 51 years after finishing seventh in the 2017/18 campaign. Assistant manager Ian Woan has also extended his stay with the Clarets. “It is nice to be able to get this deal completed and now look towards the future of this football club, and its constant evolution,” said the Burnley boss. “I have a strong affinity with the area and our supporters after so many years here and I look forward to putting in the hard work needed to keep the club moving in the right direction. “It was an important summer for us to add talent and depth to the team, but the work doesn’t stop there. As a club we’re about developing and improving players and the environment we foster here is so important to that. “I am looking forward to continuing to develop that environment, work with a great group of players and coaches and to build on the positive relationship with our new ownership headed up by Alan.” Chairman Alan Pace is delighted to have secured Dyche's long-term future. “As I’ve said many times before, we are huge fans of what Sean has achieved at this club,” he added. “We were delighted to be able to offer Sean backing in the transfer market this summer and continue the evolution of this team, as part of our wider growth strategy for the club. “It was important for everyone to get this deal over the line and look towards the club’s future starting with this current Premier League season. "I look forward to working closely with Sean and his team over the coming seasons as we seek to raise the bar and build on the solid foundations that have been laid over the past nine years.”
