Celtic[edit]
In a "dream ticket" style move, Barnes was appointed head coach of
Celtic on 8 June 1999 working under Kenny Dalglish as director of football. After his appointment he later re-registered himself as a player but never played a competitive game for Celtic. He was sacked 8 months into his tenure following a home 3-1
1999-2000 Scottish Cup defeat by lower division
Inverness Caledonian Thistle in February. The result led to the newspaper headline, "Super Caley go ballistic, Celtic are atrocious". He is now widely considered to be one of the worst managers in Celtic's history.
Kenny Dalglish took over first-team duties until the end of the season.
[40] Although Dalglish won the League Cup in the process, his contract was not renewed and the board decided to replace him with
Martin O'Neill.
Jamaica[edit]
Barnes entered discussions with the
Jamaica Football Federation in September 2008 regarding the possibility of him managing the
Jamaica national team.
[41] On 16 September 2008, Barnes was appointed as manager of Jamaica announcing Mike Commane as his assistant. Barnes guided his new Jamaican charges to a first-place finish in the
2008 Caribbean Championships, qualifying as the top
Caribbean side for the
2009 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
In February 2009, Barnes told Sky Sports that he wanted to return to club management if the opportunity arose.
[42] It was reported in May 2009 that Barnes contacted
English League Two side
Port Vale to see whether he could replace out-going manager
Dean Glover.
[43] Ultimately, though, the potential move to Port Vale did not happen. Instead, on 14 June 2009 he confirmed that he was to be appointed manager of
League One side
Tranmere Rovers.
Tranmere Rovers[edit]
Barnes was officially named as manager of
Tranmere Rovers on 15 June 2009, with
Jason McAteer assisting him.
[44] He got off to a disastrous start, with Tranmere only winning three of their first fourteen games. During their time at Tranmere, Barnes and McAteer were allegedly dubbed "
Dumb and Dumber" by the Tranmere players.[

[45] He has since applied to become the manager of the Rwandan national team with Stephen Garside as his Youth Team Coach.[
