The Thurles native assumed the role of manager of the Irish Premier Division side last Wednesday evening.
Barry is a teacher in Presentation Secondary School in Thurles, and is known for his soccer analysis on TippFM on Monday nights.
The Ryan family have a major background in sport, with Barry's father famously playing League of Ireland football, scoring a goal past Peter Shilton when Thurles Town faced Stoke City in the Greyhound Stadium in 1977.
