Bayern Munich confirm appointment of Chelsea coach Anthony Barry as he is reunited with former Blues boss Thomas Tuchel after £1m compensation fee was agreed

Chelsea and Bayern Munich have finally reached an agreement for the Blues' first team coach Anthony Barry to move to the German giants.

Bayern appointed Thomas Tuchel as their new manager last month, and the former Chelsea boss revealed at his opening press conference that he wanted Barry alongside him in the dugout after they worked together at Stamford Bridge.

Barry informed Chelsea of his desire to be reunited with Tuchel, but the two clubs could not initially reach an agreement, and Barry was asked to stay away from the training ground while discussions continued.
