In the late 1980s, Dyche was a youth-team player for Nottingham Forest, while Brian Clough was the boss. He was 5 ft 7 in (1.70 m) and weighed 10 stone when he was accepted at Forest, but after a year, he increased to 6 ft 0 (1.83 m) and 12 stone. He broke his leg early in his career, which Dyche claims held him back. He also suffered with a permanent leg bend.
He left Forest in early 1990 without making a first-team appearance or signing for Chesterfield, where he later became captain. In 1997, Dyche was part of the FA Cup semi-finals. He scored a penalty to put his side 2–0 up in a controversial 3–3 draw in the FA Cup semi-final against Middlesbrough. Chesterfield lost the replay 3–0.
In 1997, Dyche left Chesterfield for Bristol City, assisting the team in gaining promotion to Division One in his first season. Dyche spent time on loan at Luton Town during the season. He left Millwall at the end of the season, winning promotion to Division One in 2001 and coming close to a Premier League spot the next year, losing to eventual promotion winners Birmingham City in the play-offs. In 2002, he began a three-year stint at Watford, where he was captain in his last season with the club.
He signed for Northampton Town in 2005 and was active in their 2005–06 promotion from League Two. He fell out of favour after Stuart Gray was named as the boss and was released at the end of the 2006–07 season.
Managerial career
Dyche re-joined Watford as an under-18s coach in 2007, and was promoted to assistant manager in July 2009 when Malky Mackay was appointed Watford's boss. In June 2011, Mackay was sent to Cardiff City and Dyche was promoted to manager. Watford finished 11th in the Football League Championship in 2011, the club's highest finish in four years, but a change in club ownership culminated in his departure at the end of the season.
Dyche joined the England national under-21 football team as a part of the backroom staff in September 2012, but Burnley's manager, Eddie Howe, had left the club to re-join AFC Bournemouth, but the following month brought him back to the club. Dyche was named Championship manager of the month for September 2013, and Burnley's season got off to a good start since they were first established in 1882. Since a four-year absence, the team maintained a string of long-serving club records and won promotion to the Premier League. Their time in the top flight was only a single season, as they were relegated with two games to spare. He signed a labor contract extension on February 5, 2016. Burnley's second appearance in the Premier League this season, with promotion confirmed following a 1–0 victory over Queens Park Rangers at Turf Moor on May 2nd.
Dyche signed a new deal with Burnley on January 23, 2018, promising to remain as boss until 2022. He had guided Burnley to seventh position in the Premier League at the time of signing his deal, marking the team's second straight top-flight season after finishing 16th last season. For the first time in over half a century, the season came to an end with Europa League qualifying, where the team saw their best finish since a sixth-placed finish back in 1974. The Princess Royal' pub was renamed 'The Royal Dyche' in honor of Burnley's manager after qualifying for Europe.
Dyche was fired by Burnley on April 15, 2022, after being with the club for nine and a half years. The club was in the relegation zone at the time of his dismissal, four points behind Everton in the relegation table, with eight games remaining. The decision to fire Dyche by the club's owners was widely condemned, with BBC writer Phil McNulty describing it as "blind panic" in the club's attempt to keep their Premier League status by appointing a new manager. After finishing in 18th on the final day of the season, Mike Jackson took over Dyche as caretaker boss for the remainder of the season. Vincent Kompany will replace Dyche as Burnley's permanent manager on June 15, 2022.
