Overview
- Bournemouth confirmed Monday that Marco Rose, 49, will take charge after this season on a three-year contract, with Andoni Iraola set to leave when his deal expires.
- The club says its focus stays on finishing strong as it sits eighth on a 13-match unbeaten run and pushes for a first European berth.
- Owners picked Rose for a high-pressing, attacking style they see as aligned with the current approach, plus Champions League and Europa League know-how from Salzburg, Gladbach, Dortmund and Leipzig.
- Rose has been out of work since RB Leipzig dismissed him in March 2025 and he is credited with developing Erling Haaland, Jude Bellingham and Dominik Szoboszlai.
- Bournemouth weighed Kieran McKenna and Iñigo Pérez before choosing Rose, and his backroom staff will be finalized as planning for the 2026–27 season begins.
