Overview
- Bournemouth, which confirmed the hire Monday, said Rose will take over after the 2025/26 campaign when Andoni Iraola departs at contract end.
- The club urged focus on the run-in, pointing to a 13-match unbeaten streak and eighth place with five games left as they chase a first European berth.
- Rose, 49, last managed RB Leipzig until March 2025 and previously led Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund, winning two Austrian titles and the 2023 German Cup.
- Club leaders considered Kieran McKenna and Iñigo Pérez before choosing Rose for his high-pressing approach and record of developing young players, a choice that gives players and staff clarity for next season.
- Iraola endorsed the appointment as leaving the team in good hands, and he continues to be linked in reports with roles such as Athletic Bilbao or Manchester United.
