The “Heavy Lifting”: Speaking on talkSPORT, where he has been working regularly as a pundit, Dyche reflected on the physical and mental toll of his recent managerial roles.

Enjoying Alternative Projects: During his time away, Dyche has engaged in media work, community events, and charity effortsincluding partnering with broadcaster Jonny Owen for an initiative supporting Merthyr Tydfilstating that he is genuinely enjoying that side of life outside the touchline pressure.
Door Left Open: While he is not actively hunting for a rescue mission, Dyche reaffirmed his passion for coaching, admitting with a “never say never” mindset that the right phone call could easily tempt him back into management.
