Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that Anthony Barry has arrived to start work at Bayern Munich following negotiations with Chelsea. Barry, a coach with an excellent reputation, has not been involved in Chelsea preparations since the German club made their approach following the appointment of Tuchel in March.
Barry has frequently drawn interest since joining the club in the 2020/21 season under Frank Lampard before continuing in Tuchel's team. The 36-year-old has combined part time roles with Republic of Ireland, Belgium and now Portugal during his time at Stamford Bridge.
The set-piece specialist has been linked with head coach roles at Championship clubs including QPR and Huddersfield Town in the past, while there was a suggestion he could join Lampard at Everton when he returned to management. Returning to work with Tuchel and a move to Munich appears to have finally persuaded Barry to depart.
