Burnley boss Sean Dyche shocks journalists with pub-like presser before Man City clash

Sean Dyche has been a regular feature on the Burnley touchline for quite some time. It does not come as a major surprise that Dyche is the longest-serving manager present in the Premier League this season. The English manager took over Burnley in 2012 and has been doing well for the Clarets ever since.

Since joining Burnley in 2012, Dyche has led his team to many top half finishes in the Premier League. He has also gotten Burnley two promotions and won them the Championship in 2016. Taking charge at Turf Moor, with limited resources at his disposal, it won't be wrong to consider the Englishman amongst the best managers in the Premier League.

Dyche started off his antics when one of the journalists suggested that the English manager looked uncannily similar to singer-songwriter Mick Hucknall. The question triggered a set of surprising responses which ended up with Sean Dyche talking about the 'lookie-likey' game.
