Sean Dyche was dismissed by Nottingham Forest in February and has already opened up on what the future holds for him amid links to Tottenham Hotspur
Sean Dyche has revealed that leading clubs have already made contact with him amid links to Spurs but insists he feels no pressure to rush into another role or vindicate himself after the difficult circumstances surrounding his departure from Nottingham Forest.
Dyche was relieved of his duties by Forest in mid-February, merely four months after his appointment to steer the club clear of the Premier League's relegation battle. The 54-year-old, who became Forest's third manager during a chaotic campaign following Nuno Espirito Santo and Ange Postecoglou, is being touted as a potential candidate for the Tottenham position.
Interim head coach Igor Tudor is experiencing a disastrous period since his arrival last month. The Croatian, who took charge following Thomas Frank's exit, has failed to register a victory, leaving Spurs merely a point clear of the relegation zone.

Following their 5-2 Champions League humbling at Atletico Madrid on Tuesday evening, Spurs now travel to Anfield for a crucial encounter with Liverpool – a fixture that could seal Tudor's fate should they fall short.
Nevertheless, just weeks from his departure, Dyche acknowledged he's in no rush to return to management and even suggested he wouldn't be troubled if he never came back at all.
Discussing his future intentions on The Football Boardroom podcast, he said: "I know what I am. I could branch off this minute now and do what you're doing now and be quite happy."
"You know, I've done my bit, so if I do more, great. If I don't do more, I won't be crying over it. I won't be, you know, but you're left with this moment or that moment.
"Okay, yeah, not bothered about that. I've given my lot; I always do. So I've got no problem with that."
"So if I choose to step away, it will be my choice. It won't be because no one will employ me. I could certainly; I've had offers already by the way, so that's not a problem.
"Top level [offers], but the point is, you go, 'Do I need that? Do I want to make a decision? Not at the moment.'"
While Dyche didn't disclose which clubs have approached him, Spurs may soon be in the market for a new manager.
According to Betfair, Dyche is currently listed at 12/1 to take the reins at the north London club ahead of the upcoming season.
