Dyche opens up about his journey in football, from his early days at Chesterfield and Nottingham Forest to life on the touchline at Burnley and Everton. He shares behind-the-scenes stories about working with players like Ashley Barnes and Scott Arfield and reflects on the unexpected rise of some of his most trusted pros.
He gives a frank account of the challenges he faced at Everton, including financial issues, boardroom uncertainty and the impact of the club’s points deduction. Dyche breaks down his straightforward football philosophy, built on fitness, mentality and organisation over modern tactical trends.
The conversation turns to the state of British coaching, the dominance of foreign managers in the Premier League and the uphill battle English coaches face when trying to land top jobs.
Dyche also gives his take on VAR, diving in the game and how media pressure and fan expectations can shape the lifespan of a manager.
