BAYERN MUNICH MANAGER Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that former Ireland coach Anthony Barry has joined the German club from Chelsea as his assistant.
“He has joined us — I’m very happy. We really wanted to have him with us,” Tuchel said this morning.
“He has a great quality, whether it is details or set piece situations. I’ve not seen such a level before.”
Barry, who was Stephen Kenny’s assistant in 2021, was believed to have made a significant impact in the Republic of Ireland set-up.
He departed the role to join Roberto Martinez’s Belgium backroom team ahead of the 2022 World Cup, and has since followed Martinez to Portugal.
Having worked full-time at Chelsea in recent years, Barry has linked back up with former Chelsea boss Tuchel at Bayern.
