On the day that Portugal begin their Euro 2024 campaign, we meet the 38 year old English coach who has gone from working at Accrington Stanley and Wigan, to coaching the Portuguese national side at the European Championships in Germany.  Anthony Barry opens up about his remarkable career to date, that also includes spells at Wigan, Chelsea, Bayern Munich, Ireland and Belgium.  Barry discusses coaching global stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin De Bruyne and Harry Kane, and talks about what it’s like to work alongside managers such as Thomas Tuchel, Frank Lampard and Roberto Martinez.  It really is a remarkable story and one interview you won’t want to miss.
