Bournemouth confirm Marco Rose will take over from Andoni Iraola as head coach
The German coach arrives with Champions League and Europa League experience after leaving RB Leipzig in 2025, and Bournemouth are eighth in the Premier League.
- On Monday, AFC Bournemouth confirmed Marco Rose will succeed Andoni Iraola as head coach on a three-year contract beginning after the 2025/26 season.
- Iraola announced last week he would depart when his contract expires, ending a successful three-year reign after arriving in Dorset in June 2023 and guiding the Cherries to 12th place with a then-club record of 48 points.
- The 49-year-old's high-pressing, attacking style attracted Bournemouth owners and aligns with the club's identity; Rose previously managed Borussia Dortmund, RB Leipzig, Borussia Monchengladbach and Red Bull Salzburg, developing elite talent including Erling Haaland and Jude Bellingham.
- Sitting eighth in the Premier League amid a 13-game unbeaten run, Bournemouth emphasized full focus remains on the current campaign, with the Cherries beginning their final five games at home to FA Cup semi-finalists Leeds on Wednesday.
- While Iraola has been linked with Athletic Bilbao and Manchester United, Rose's appointment comes despite lacking Premier League experience; ESPN reported this week that Rose was the club's preferred candidate over Ipswich Town boss Kieran McKenna.
