Clinton Morrison has stated that Sean Dyche could be the man to replace Jesse Marsch at Leeds United if he’s sacked by the Premier League club.
The former Premier League striker added that Sean Dyche, who was sacked by Burnley last season prior to their relegation to the Championship, is ‘itching to get back’ into management.
The Englishman has been doing punditry work of late, including being on Monday Football on Sky Sports, where he spoke about the relegation battle Leeds find themselves in.
In years gone by, Dyche has punched well above Burnley’s weight and kept them in the Premier League, including a European finish on one occasion.
Whilst the 51-year-old has that on his CV, it’s perhaps his defensive-minded, no-nonsense and direct style of play that perhaps sees him being pushed to the back of the queue when jobs become available.
The prime example is the currently vacant Wolves post, the Aston Villa job which was taken by Unai Emery and the currently vacant role at Bournemouth.
Nonetheless, Morrison gave Dyche his flowers and stated that he is a ‘fantastic’ manager, even if fans wouldn’t like his style, as he told Sky Soccer Special on Sky Sports News.
“Maybe Sean Dyche, I saw him in Monday Night Football, he looks like he is itching to get back into it,” said Morrison.
“If there is any better man, and Leeds fans might not be happy with the style of play, but one thing Sean Dyche does do, is he’ll keep you in the Premier League, nine times out of ten.
“He did it at Burnley and he’s a fantastic manager, so it could be Sean Dyche.
“But I don’t want to talk about that too much because I don’t want Jesse Marsch to lose his job.”
TOUGH FIXTURES COMING UP
Leeds have well and truly shot themselves in the foot of late because they have failed to win since August, despite their toughest fixture on paper being Arsenal.
That’s probably the only one they weren’t excepted to win, but the same can’t be said for the rest, including their 3-2 defeat to Fulham last time out.
But now, the tough fixtures arrive, Liverpool and Tottenham before the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, sandwiched in between Bournemouth and a League Cup game against Wolves.
And when they return from the break, it’s the Premier League champions followed by fourth-placed Newcastle United, will Marsch still be in the Elland Road dugout by then?
