Bournemouth have appointed Marco Rose as Andoni Iraola’s successor.
Rose will formally take cost in the summertime on a three-year contract however the deal has been made to permit each the brand new boss and membership to plan for subsequent season after Iraola confirmed he could be leaving the membership.
Iraola revealed final week that he could be departing his function as head coach when his contract expires on the finish of the season, bringing an finish to his three-year reign.
Sky Sports activities Information had reported former RB Leipzig boss Rose was the frontrunner to succeed Iraola, with the membership working rapidly to make an appointment.
The 49-year-old was all the time their primary goal to interchange Iraola due to his related footballing philosophy and elegance of play.
Rose has been out of administration since being sacked by RB Leipzig in March 2025. He has additionally labored at Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and Pink Bull Salzburg.

Why Rose is the suitable match for Bournemouth
Sky Sports activities’ Adam Bate:
When Andoni Iraola was at Rayo Vallecano he was requested in an interview with Spanish sports activities outlet Revelo who he loved watching. His reply feels significantly pertinent now. “Marco Rose’s Gladbach was one of my favourite teams,” stated Iraola.
“I really like German football because as a spectator I love it when things happen. It is not a case of you attack for two minutes and then it is my turn. Every player has to do more and more roles because everyone on the pitch is attacking and defending.
“I like that soccer the place the participant does every part. The attackers press as defenders, central defenders drive ahead and maintain the final line. It’s a very full and tactical soccer, that is why I favored Rose’s Gladbach, you might see that it was nicely labored.”
More than three years on and it has gone full circle. Rose, having perhaps unknowingly inspired this Bournemouth team, will inherit it following Iraola’s decision to walk away this summer. Is a Premier League side in danger of making a coherent appointment?
Maybe it is easier to make a change from a position of strength. Bournemouth continue to progress and news of Rose’s impending arrival emerges at a time when they are on the longest unbeaten run in the Premier League. They could yet qualify for Europe.
But Tiago Pinto and the other decision makers on the south coast still deserve credit for an eminently sensible move. It is not just that Iraola admires him – this is not Sir Alex Ferguson handpicking David Moyes. It is why Iraola admires him that is so important.
