About this manager profile

Brian Barry-Murphy's career statistics use recorded match results linked to the manager in FootSam's records. Teams, seasons and competitions are shown separately. Career assignments can predate available match results.

Points use three for a win and one for a draw, independent of league-table deductions. Results in cup matches use the recorded score; a penalty shoot-out does not turn a drawn score into a win. Formations and honours are shown when the source provides them. Before-and-after comparisons describe results around an assignment and do not measure the manager's causal impact.
