# Huddersfield: Terriers eyeing Anthony Barry

**[Huddersfield Town](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/huddersfield-town-news/) are looking at a move for Chelsea assistant coach Anthony Barry, according to [The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19840708/anthony-barry-huddersfield-chelsea-boss-chance-wagner-schofield/).**

### The Lowdown: Barry profiled

Barry has been at Stamford Bridge since [2020](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-barry/profil/trainer/72819) and has worked under Frank Lampard, Thomas Tuchel and now Graham Potter. The [UEFA A Licence coach](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-barry/profil/trainer/72819) also works with the [Belgium](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-barry/profil/trainer/72819) national team alongside Roberto Martinez.

The 36-year-old has previously spent time with [Wigan and Republic of Ireland](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-barry/profil/trainer/72819), and it looks as if he could be approached over a [first senior managerial role](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/anthony-barry/profil/trainer/72819).

### The Latest: Huddersfield interest

[The Sun](https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/19840708/anthony-barry-huddersfield-chelsea-boss-chance-wagner-schofield/) provided an update regarding Huddersfield’s search for a new manager over the weekend.

They claimed that the [Championship](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/championship-news/) club have placed the ‘highly-rated’ Barry on their shortlist, with the Blues’ assistant coach possibly tempted over a move, should The Terriers match his ambitions.

### The Verdict: A gamble?

Plenty of names have been linked with Huddersfield, with Barry the latest inexperienced coach believed to be on the club’s radar.

Plymouth Argyle boss [Steven Schumacher](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/huddersfield-town-news/huddersfield-steven-schumacher-a-top-managerial-target/) and former Manchester United assistant [Michael Carrick](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/huddersfield-town-news/huddersfield-alan-nixon-shares-michael-carrick-interest/) are also reported options, with neither of those offering years of experience as a first-team manager. The former has been a senior boss for just [39 matches](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/steven-schumacher/profil/trainer/70039), while the latter has had just [three outings](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/michael-carrick/profil/trainer/65647) as a caretaker boss.

Therefore, it could be a big gamble for Dean Hoyle to bring in someone like Barry, although that risk could pay off in the long run.
