Marco Rose Signs Three-Year Deal as Bournemouth Manager

Marco Rose has officially agreed to a three-year contract to become the manager of Bournemouth, succeeding Andoni Iraola. The club confirmed that they decided not to extend Iraola's contract earlier in the month and moved quickly to secure Rose as their preferred choice.

Rose was shortlisted alongside Ipswich Town's Kieran McKenna and Rayo Vallecano's Inigo Perez. The 49-year-old German coach, who previously managed RB Leipzig, will take on his first role in English football, having left Leipzig in March 2025.

Rose began his coaching career in 2012 with Lokomotive Leipzig and achieved significant success with Red Bull Salzburg, winning two Austrian Bundesliga titles and the Austrian Cup. He also managed Borussia Monchengladbach and Borussia Dortmund, bringing home silverware including the DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup.

Bournemouth is currently enjoying one of its strongest periods, sitting eighth in the Premier League after a recent victory over Newcastle, and remains in contention for European football.
