Former England manager Sam Allardyce has reportedly emerged as the favourite to take on the managerial role at Burnley following Sean Dyche's dismissal.

Sam Allardyce has reportedly emerged as the early favourite to take on the vacant managerial position at Burnley.

The Clarets fired Sean Dyche today with the Clarets currently 18th in the Premier League table, with eight games remaining to avoid relegation.

The 50-year-old had spent 10 years in charge of Burnley, and was the longest-serving manager in the English top flight before his dismissal.

However, the focus has now shifted to who will replace him at Turf Moor, and Allardyce has emerged as an early favourite according to The Mirror.

The former England manager has been out of the game since the end of last season when he left West Bromwich Albion following their relegation to the Championship.

Allardyce is not the only name being linked to the position though, as Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, Claudio Ranieri, Marcelo Bielsa and Rafael Benitez have all been speculated as candidates.
