Dyche is among the new breed of young English managers making a name for themselves at the moment but the 46-year-old has admitted that the many responsibilities which he has to deal with can get overwhelming at times.

He said: "It's the randomness of a football manager, I'm surprised they haven't done a documentary on football management. Fans often get on managers but if they knew the amount of work that goes in I think they will be really, really surprised.

"Some clubs now have built these systems where they'll have a version of this, out and out owner at the top, CEO, day to day, from the CEO, sporting director, scouting and recruitment, youth system, first team - that has changed the role of the manager to purely managing the team.

"At a club like this, its managing a lot of different things, and there are versions of me managing a lot of things out there, but some of the super power concerns are just managing the team.

"Even when you're just managing the team, usually that implies you're at a very big club, and if you are, you're not just managing the team, you're managing the team behind the team, agents, publicists, the bloke who's writing a book, the hairdresser, physio, the babysitter, nanny, au pair, the driver etc. If they did a documentary on it, it's non stop."
