"I have a strong affinity with the area and our supporters after so many years here and I look forward to putting in the hard work needed to keep the club moving in the right direction," Dyche told the club's website.

"It was an important summer for us to add talent and depth to the team, but the work doesn't stop there. As a club, we're about developing and improving players and the environment we foster here is so important to that."

Dyche has overseen two promotions from the second-tier Championship since taking over at Burnley in October 2012 and led it to a seventh-placed finish in the Premier League in the 2017-18 campaign.
