SEAN Dyche said he wants to be part of 'more good times' at Burnley after signing a new contract with the Clarets.

Dyche has been at Turf Moor since October 2012, and having penned a new deal in the summer of 2014 after guiding Burnley to the Premier League, he has now committed his immediate future to the club.

The 'new and improved' contract takes effect straight away and chairman Mike Garlick said the club had 'the best manager in the Championship'.

It is though Dyche has signed a rolling deal, just as he did two years ago.

"The chairman, the board of directors and myself have been discussing the future of the club now for a while, because that comes first," said the Clarets chief.

"On the back of that there is my role and we agreed a short while ago to start talks on a new contract.

"I am pleased to say that is now agreed. It’s an improved situation for myself and hopefully the club as well."

Dyche is now the 11th longest serving manager in the Football League and tomorrow he takes charge of his 159th Burnley game, against Hull City, having won 62 of them so far.

Having had a taste of the Premier League last season the Clarets are well placed for an immediate return, sitting third in the Championship, three points below Middlesbrough and four points behind the table-topping Tigers.

And Dyche is keen to build on the job he has started at Turf Moor, although he admits there are no guarantees forever in football.

"We have been building something here for the last three-and-a-half years and there have been lots of good times and lots of changes

“We want more good times here and I want to be a part of that.

“I made it clear in the summer when there were lots of questions, and I make it clear again now that my view is to continue to try and improve and build what we do at this football club.

“There are no guarantees forever because we all know the complexities of this game, but it’s safe to say that I am signing for a good reason and that is to be here and do well.”

Chairman Mike Garlick said the club and Dyche remained a 'good fit for each other'.

"I am absolutely delighted at this news," he said.

"We have been speaking about this for a few months and it was never in doubt and quite simple to get done.

"Sean has been here three-and-a-half years and if we weren’t a good fit for each other I don’t think we would be in this healthy situation.

"The mentality of Sean and the club are very much alike and we see things the same way, essentially.

"I think what we have currently is the best manager in the Championship and what Sean and I really want is for him to be the best manager in the Premier League."
