Sean Dyche rules out Derby County job

Burnley boss Sean Dyche says that he is not interested in being offered Steve McClaren's job at Derby County.

Burnley boss Sean Dyche has moved to distance himself from the rumours linking him with replacing Steve McClaren at Derby County in the summer.

Speculation is rife that the Rams' hierarchy has identified Dyche as the man to replace McClaren, whose future at the iPro Stadium remains uncertain.

County beat Wigan Athletic on Monday to end a seven-match winless streak in a run of form that has hindered their Premier League promotion bid.

In contrast, the Clarets are among the favourites to be relegated back to the Championship this season, but Dyche says that he is loving the challenge at Turf Moor.

"I think it's quite obvious, I am enjoying the challenge here. I am not looking further afield," he is quoted as saying by ESPN. "I am enjoying the challenge here."

Burnley sit 19th in the Premier League table, two points adrift of safety.
