Chelsea are upset with new Bayern Munich coach Thomas Tuchel about his interest in coach Anthony Barry.

Tuchel confirmed that he wished to bring Barry on board, in addition to Arno Michels and Zsolt Low, who he has worked with for a decade.

"My coaching staff wasn't prepared either, so a big thank you to their families for their flexibility," he said.

"Arno Michels and Zsolt Low, who have been working with me for over 10 years, will be there. We're hoping to add Anthony Barry, who is currently at Chelsea."

The Telegraph says his declaration irked Chelsea who feel the dealings should be held behind closed doors.

Barry is under contract at Stamford Bridge having first joined under Frank Lampard, who had been his pro license course mate, from Wigan meaning Bayern Munich would have to pay compensation to the west London club. It has been reported that he is interested in taking up the offer in Germany.
