Burnley boss Sean Dyche is delighted with praise from Dutch legend Ruud Gullit.

Last week, Gullit didn't hold back when he declared that Dyche should have been named Manager of the Year ahead of Manchester City's all-conquering hero Pep Guardiola.

Dyche was gobsmacked and said: “When I was watching this fella on TV, I didn't think I would be standing on the side of the pitch at the FA Cup with him saying I should be the Manager of the Year."

Dyche's seventh place in the Premier League – the Clarets' best finish since 1974 – will give Burnley their first taste of European football for 51 years.
