Post-retirement
After retiring from playing, Barnes had a brief spell managing Gibraltar and Runcorn, and has since worked behind the scenes at Manchester City and for local radio.
Since August 2010, he has been based in Kuala Lumpur, working as a Premier League pundit for Malaysian network, Astro, and its thrice-weekly FourFourTwo TV programme. On the night that his former club Manchester City clinched the 2011–12 Premier League title, the normally reserved Barnes sang a rendition of Blue Moon during the post-game show in Astro's studios. He also continued his father's legacy, running soccer schools for impoverished local children.
