Iraola will leave Bournemouth at the conclusion of the 2025/26 season. He took charge in June 2023 after Gary O’Neil’s departure. Rose, who is 49 years old, was sacked by RB Leipzig in March 2025.

Rose has never previously managed in England. However, he brings significant experience from managing Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach, and Red Bull Salzburg.

Bournemouth announced that Iraola would not be signing a new deal at Vitality Stadium. The club had a shortlist of three candidates for the managerial position.

Bournemouth aims to consolidate a strong Premier League campaign with European qualification still within reach. Currently, they are on a 13-game unbeaten run.

Rose described his playing style as “emotion, hunger and being active”. He expressed enthusiasm about joining a club with clear identity and ambition.

AFC Bournemouth stated, “Everyone at AFC Bournemouth looks forward to welcoming Marco to Vitality Stadium as he begins his role as head coach in the summer.” This transition marks a significant change for the club.

Andoni Iraola reflected on his time at Bournemouth, saying, “It has been an honour to manage Bournemouth and I am proud of what we have achieved together.” His departure signals a new direction for the team.

Details remain unconfirmed regarding any further developments or changes within the coaching staff. The focus now shifts to how Rose will implement his vision for the team moving forward.
