Anthony Barry, 38, has been announced as England’s assistant head coach. He worked under Thomas Tuchel at Chelsea and Bayern Munich.
‘Barry first met Tuchel at Stamford Bridge, where he had already formed part of Frank Lampard’s backroom staff, and was hired by Bayern when the German took charge in April 2023,’ a statement on the England website read.
‘Having made his coaching breakthrough during three years as assistant manager at Wigan Athletic, he became first-team coach at Chelsea in the summer of 2020, initially joining the staff of England legend Lampard after the pair had met on the UEFA Pro License Course at St. George’s Park.
‘Tuchel retained Barry when he took the reins at Stamford Bridge in January 2021, with the Blues going on to win the Champions League at the end of that campaign – their first taste of success as a duo.’
Englishman Barry has previously worked as a coach for Belgium, Portugal and the Republic of Ireland.
