Thomas Tuchel’s assistant manager at Bayern Munich has been tipped as a ‘leading candidate’ for the currently vacant Republic of Ireland job.<\/p>\n
Following a\u00a0dismal Euro 2024 qualifying campaign, Ireland decided to part ways with Stephen Kenny.<\/p>\n
Since then, both Steve Bruce and Sam Allardyce have thrown their hats into the ring for the role.<\/p>\n
Bruce, who has been\u00a0unemployed since his sacking from Championship side West Brom in 2022, said he is\u00a0‘itching’ to get back to work following his longest spell out of football.<\/p>\n
Now it has been revealed that Tuchel’s right-hand man\u00a0Anthony Barry is being tipped for the role as well.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Thomas Tuchel originally poached Antony Barry from Chelsea to help him at Munich\u00a0<\/p>\n

Former West Brom boss Steve Bruce has been ‘itching’ to get back to professional football<\/p>\n
The 37-year-old from Liverpool was playing lower-league football until 2017 – lastly at Wrexham – when he went into coaching with Paul Cook at Wigan.<\/p>\n
After that, he moved to Chelsea to work under Frank Lampard before he helped Tuchel win a Champions League.<\/p>\n
In April the German coach then poached him when he was manager of Bayern.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Barry has also had international experience after he helped\u00a0Roberto Martinez with the Portugal squad heading into the Euros next year.<\/span><\/p>\n Ireland still face a tough ask to land Barry as a coach with Premier League and Championship clubs all targeting him in the last 12 months, especially Swansea City.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The 37-year-old from Liverpool previously worked under Frank Lampard at Chelsea<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Former West Ham manager Sam Allardyce has also thrown his name into the hat for the job<\/p>\n It’s All Kicking Off is an exciting new podcast from Mail Sport that promises a different take on Premier League football.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n It is available on MailOnline, Mail+, YouTube, Apple Music and Spotify.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n Your browser does not support iframes.<\/p>\nIT’S ALL KICKING OFF!\u00a0<\/h3>\n
