Sacked Burnley boss Sean Dyche has hinted he's close to a return to management.

Dyche admitted that rumours linking him with a club are "not new territory" and said he had "a few links" during his time at Turf Moor.

The 51-year-old made an appearance on Sky Sports's Monday Night Football as a pundit covering the Cherries trip to West Ham, and having been out of a job since before the end of last season, he was asked about rumours of a move to Bournemouth.

"No, it's there's a lot of talk," he said. "Obviously, I was under contract at Burnley not under contract anymore.

"You're out of contract as a manager so to speak, so that probably changes your views you'd probably get linked a bit quicker.

"And a few links when I was at Burnley, so it's not new territory, but it's often you know, people throwing names around thrown in the hat. It's always flattering to be linked. Watch this space!"
