Anthony Barry could be set for a sensational return to the Ireland set-up as Stephen Kenny closes in on completing his backroom ticket for the Euro qualifiers starting in March.

Just under a year ago, Barry quit Ireland to take up an identical role with Belgium for the World Cup but his headhunter Roberto Martinez left the post immediately after their group stage elimination in Qatar.
