Anthony Barry
« on: Thu 18 Jun 2026 09:16 »
I only got home at half time but heard the half time interview with England assistant head coach Anthony Barry. Frankly I'd never heard of the guy and was stunned at how candid he was re England's first half performance. Not something you normally hear during international matches, but it worked, and full marks to the England management for making it happen. I shall await half time next Tuesday with renewed interest.

hi,

even though the interview only lasted about 30 seconds or so, you could see how wound up he was. you could sense the frustration in his voice and it would appear, based on the first 10 minutes of the second half, what was communicated to the players worked.

wonder if these brief touchline/tunnel 'chats' always happen but aren't often shown, or whether this is a new initiative for the WC?

regards

He's a young coach going places.  Tuchel inherited him at Chelsea and was so impressed he took him to Bayern, and then again to England.  He's also had roles with the Republic of Ireland and Belgian national teams, all of this by the time he is 40.

Former Accrington Stanley midfielder. Can't remember where he went when he left. Apparently did a dissertation on the subject of throw ins.

hi,

according to wikipedia...

as player - accrington stanley > yeovil town > chester city > wrexham > fleetwood town > forest green rovers > accrington stanley > wrexham...

as coaching staff - wigan > chelsea > republic of ireland > belgium > portugal > bayern munich > england

crikey - barely time to unpack the removal lorry between assignments - estate agents must love him
