Overview
- Bournemouth confirmed Marco Rose as their new head coach in early June and he will join the club in the summer to lead the team into its first Europa League campaign.
- Rose has named two assistants, Marco Kurth and Frank Geideck, plus an analysis coach as part of the backroom team and the club is working through contracts and visas for the trio.
- He said he will largely maintain the proactive, high-intensity, front-footed style established under Andoni Iraola while making only small tactical adjustments.
- Rose plans to work closely with Tiago Pinto to assess squad depth and identify targets so the club can cope with the extra matches and travel that European competition brings.
- Rose praised Iraola as a 'top coach and person' and stressed a hands-on, pitch-based approach that aims to build strong links with players and local fans as Bournemouth steps onto the European stage.
