Barry via TheFA said: “For any Englishman in football, working with the national team is the pinnacle and I didn’t hesitate when Thomas asked me to come and join him again. I know what a great place St. George’s Park is and how much of an advantage it gives our England teams, and the support it gives to coaches.
Anthony Barry further added: “This squad is very talented and have done so much to bring the country together, I look forward to meeting and working with them on this exciting project.”
