Burnley boss Sean Dyche does not believe Arsenal will hire a British boss to replace Arsene Wenger if the Frenchman decides to leave this summer.

"I think it's highly unlikely that English managers are getting massive jobs in the Premier League, at the moment," he explained.

"Maybe over time the feeling about football changes. I just don't think English managers have still got the kudos of some of their foreign counterparts.

"That's not a big deal, that's the nature of what it is at the moment.

"I think for Arsenal I need some more experience, more depth to my experience, more growth as a manager and I think it's fair to say that we're working hard at what we do here."

When asked if it was "sad" British managers are overlooked for the top posts, Dyche replied: "I just think it's a reality, I don't think it's sad at all. The nature of the market is that.

"There's some really good British managers out there. Tony (Pulis) is well versed in what's going on.

"Alan Pardew was spoken about as the England manager, then a few months later was out of a job because of the complexities of football.

"He is still a top-class manager. There's Sam Allardyce, of course, Eddie Howe is doing a fantastic job down at Bournemouth.

"I just don't think they're thought of in the same way sometimes as what their foreign counterparts are. There's no angle in that, I just think it's the reality of where it's at."
