Barnes set to land Tranmere post

14 June 2009 12:37
Former Celtic boss Barnes emerged as the front-runner for the Prenton Park post at the start of the week when he was replaced as Jamaica chief. The former England international only spent seven months at the helm of the Reggae Boyz, during which time he was unable to secure World Cup qualification. But he has now reportedly told Sky Sports News that he will be tasked with leading Tranmere's League One campaign in the coming season. Rovers parted company with Moore at the end of last term after he narrowly missed out on a place in the play-offs. Jason McAteer had also expressed an interest in the vacancy but it now appears that Barnes will be the new man at the helm.
