Brian Barry-Murphy will be "massively sought after" on the back of guiding Cardiff City to promotion from League One into the Championship, according to former England defender Conor Coady.
Barry-Murphy led the Bluebirds to a second-place finish in the third tier as the club secured an immediate return to the Championship following relegation a year ago.
Having worked under Barry-Murphy at Leicester City, current Wrexham centre-back Coady says the Irish boss will likely attract interest in the future given his stunning debut campaign in the Welsh capital.
"It's nothing against Cardiff, they're a big side," Coady told The Overlap's Fan Debate.
"I think he'll be massively sought after in terms of what he's going to do going forward.
"I think there's loads of clubs who would benefit from bringing him in, because I think he's that much of a good coach."
The Bluebirds won 27 of their 46 League One matches last term as they ended the 2025-26 season with 91 points.
Former Manchester City youth coach Barry-Murphy has been instrumental in the development of numerous Cardiff young guns such as Dylan Lawlor, Isaak Davies, Ronan Kpakio and Joel Colwill since taking charge at Cardiff City Stadium.
And Coady - who described Barry-Murphy as "unbelievable" - feels the 47-year-old is the perfect fit to develop Cardiff's academy players.
"He is one of the most unbelievable coaches I've ever had in my whole career in terms of his detail and how he sets up his sessions. His sessions were top," Coady said.
"I think if that was their plan, to really promote the young lads, they could not have got a better fella than Bri at the helm to do that. He's got a way with people.
"In terms of coaching younger players, I don't think there's many better than him."
Brian Barry-Murphy is considered 'massively sought after' due to his success in guiding Cardiff City to promotion from League One to the Championship.
Conor Coady stated that Barry-Murphy will likely attract interest from other clubs following his impressive debut campaign at Cardiff City.
Cardiff City finished second in League One, securing an immediate return to the Championship under Brian Barry-Murphy's management.
