BURNLEY are still searching for Sean Dyche’s successor after parting company with the long-serving manager.

Under-23s boss Mike Jackson has done a stellar job since taking interim charge, guiding the Clarets to back-to-back wins against Southampton and Wolves.

The Turf Moor club are now out of the bottom three heading into Saturday’s crunch match against Watford.

Therefore, it is no surprise that Jackson ranks fairly highly in the bookies’ odds for Dyche’s replacement.

The former Tranmere boss is priced at 6/1 to get the job permanently, according to SkyBet’s latest odds.

Chris Wilder remains the favourite despite reportedly committing his future to Middlesbrough after meeting with the board.

Wayne Rooney is also high on the list following Derby’s relegation to League One, while Rafa Benitez makes completes the top three.
