Aston Villa have received a clear boost in their pursuit to hire Sean Dyche as their next boss. The 48-year-old could be on the market this summer as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
The pandemic has hit Premier League clubs hard in the pocket, not least Burnley who could be staring at a £50m deficit. To help alleviate costs, Dyche could be put up for sale, along with his backroom staff, for a stiff fee of £10m.
That has alerted the attentions of Aston Villa and Crystal Palace, according to the Daily Mail. Dean Smith currently manages Villa while Roy Hodgson is at Palace but the former has come under pressure in recent months while the latter is thinking of retirement at the age of 72.
