Thomas Tuchel confirms Chelsea talks to lure highly rated coach Anthony Barry to Bayern

Chelsea face a fight to keep hold of assistant manager Anthony Barry after Thomas Tuchel went public with his desire for a reunion at Bayern Munich. Tuchel, sacked by Chelsea in September, has landed his next job following the equally surprising sacking of Julian Nagelsmann at the Germany giants. For Tuchel, it is a return to Germany where he made his name with Mainz and then Borussia Dortmund, and wants to reunite with his backroom which helped him win the Champions League with Chelsea two years ago.
