Bournemouth<\/a> are close to appointing Marco Rose as head coach to replace departing Andoni Iraola.<\/p>\n

The German is expected to take over after the club confirmed on Tuesday that Iraola will leave the Vitality Stadium at the end of the season.<\/p>\n

Although Iraola’s departure was a blow to the Cherries, it did not come as a complete surprise. <\/p>\n

Bournemouth<\/a> had succession plans in place and had sounded out Rose, along with Ipswich Town’s Kieran McKenna and Rayo Vallecano’s Inigo Perez.<\/p>\n

Rose, 49, has been without a club since he was sacked by RB Leipzig in March 2025<\/a> and has never previously managed in England. <\/p>\n

He has substantial experience, having also worked at Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Monchengladbach and Red Bull Salzburg.<\/p>\n

Rose was also one of the candidates considered by Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> following the sacking of Thomas Frank in February.<\/p>\n

Asked about the club’s interest in Rose, current manager Iraola told BBC Sport: “I know him but I cannot speak about other managers. <\/p>\n

“Because I speak with the club, I have some information. I’ve heard names but it’s a decision that they have to make. <\/p>\n

“And, whoever they decide, whenever they decide to sign the new manager, you can ask me about whoever comes and I will try to give my opinion.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Bournemouth are close to appointing Marco Rose as head coach to replace departing Andoni Iraola.
