Burnley boss Sean Dyche has revealed that he is “flattered” by the speculation linking him with the Everton managerial position. However he added that he is not paying much attention to it.
On Monday, the Toffees parted ways with Ronald Koeman following their slow start to the season which has seen them take just eight points from their opening nine games.
Due to the impressive work which he has done with Burnley for the past five years, Dyche has been touted as a top candidate to replace Koeman.
Should Dyche leave the Clarets at this time, it will be received badly by fans of the club. It now looks like he will not leave his post for now.
“It hasn’t changed,” Dyche said of the Everton speculation. “I’ve said it a few times with the various clubs that have been mentioned — you’re always flattered because it recognises the work that myself, my players and staff do.
“You’re flattered by the fact some of your work is recognised. It’s other people’s stories, it’s not mine. It’s right that I get asked about it.
“Yet again, [Everton are] another good club, I’m respectful of all clubs in all situations. But I’m equally respectful of my situation now.
“I just get on with it. I’ve been through it, and had the experience of those sort of links at various times, more so than in the last couple of years. I just continue to get on with what I’m doing and that’s the focus.”
