Never managed a team. Has no championship experience. Has only coached under world-class managers. IMO he's not the man.
Coaching
In the summer of 2020, Barry joined Chelsea as first-team coach after three years assisting Paul Cook at Wigan Athletic. In February 2021, he replaced the departed Damien Duff in Stephen Kenny's Republic of Ireland coaching team.[23] He combined the role at Chelsea with the part-time role with the Republic of Ireland.[24][25] In February 2022, Barry left the Irish set-up to join Roberto Martinez at Belgium's coaching team. He cited coaching the world's no. 1 ranked team and the opportunity to compete at the World Cup as his motivation for leaving Ireland and joining the Belgians.[26][27] In March 2023, he had another dual role by rejoining Roberto Martinez staff at Portugal national team.[28] When Thomas Tuchel took over as Bayern Munich manager, Barry joined his coaching staff in April 2023,[29] to contribute as set-piece specialist.[30]Managerial career | |||
