Sean Mark Dyche (born 28 June 1971) is an English former professional footballer, who is currently the manager of Premier League side Burnley, a position he has held since October 2012. During his playing career, Dyche played as a centre-back, making his professional debut in 1990 and representing Chesterfield - whom he captained and scored for in an FA Cup semi-final - Bristol City, Luton Town, Millwall, Watford and Northampton Town. He was promoted with four of his six clubs. After retiring as a player in 2007 he coached at Watford, including a stint as manager between June 2011 and July 2012.
Whilst manager of Burnley, Dyche has successfully guided the club to two promotions to the Premier League in three seasons, the latter following relegation back to the Championship in 2014–15.
Dyche was a youth-team player at Nottingham Forest in the late 1980s, while Brian Clough was manager. When he joined Forest he was 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) and weighed 10 stone, but grew to 6 ft 0 in (1.83 m) and 12 stone after a year. He broke his leg early in his career, which Dyche claims held him back. It also left him with a permanent bend in his leg.
He left Forest in early 1990 without making a first-team appearance and signed for Chesterfield, where he later became captain. Dyche was part of a team that won the Division Three play-offs in 1995 and reached an FA Cup semi-final in 1997. In the FA Cup semi final against Middlesbrough he scored a penalty to put his side 2–0 up in an eventual 3–3 draw. Ultimately, Chesterfield would go on to lose the replay 3–0.
