Speaking to the club, Dyche said: 'It is nice to be able to get this deal completed and now look towards the future of this football club, and its constant evolution.

'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.

'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.

'I am looking forward to continuing to develop that environment, work with a great group of players and coaches and to build on the positive relationship with our new ownership headed up by Alan.'  

Dyche left Watford take over the reins at Burnley in October 2012. He guided the club to an 11th place finish in the Championship during his maiden campaign. 

The following year, he achieved a second place finish and secured Burnley's promotion back into the Premier League following a four-year absence.

Despite being immediately relegated back the Championship, Dyche proved his worth by finishing the very next season as champions and returning to the top-flight.

'It was important for everyone to get this deal over the line and look towards the club's future starting with this current Premier League season.
