Burnley's Dyche plays down Derby speculation

Burnley's Sean Dyche has denied claims that he is set to manage Derby County next season.

With rumours suggesting Newcastle United are after current Rams boss Steve McClaren, the name of Clarets manager Dyche has been thrown into the Derby hat.

However, the 43-year old insists he has no plans to leave Turf Moor anytime soon as he strives to pull the Lancashire club out of the Premier League relegation mire.

"It's quite obvious, the way I work here. I'm enjoying the challenge here, I'm not looking further afield and it's as simple as that," said Dyche.

"Someone needs a story somewhere. A couple of iffy results and that changes everything but I'm certainly enjoying the challenge here."
