Official: Marco Rose takes charge of Bournemouth | OneFootball

What had already been indicated in the days beforehand has now also become official as of yesterday, Monday: Marco Rose will take on a new job next season and will take charge of AFC Bournemouth in the English Premier League.

“The 49-year-old arrives on the south coast with a wealth of experience at the highest level of European football, having previously coached Red Bull Salzburg, Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig,” the current eighth-placed team in the Premier League introduced Rose via the club website as the successor to successful coach Andoni Iraola, who did not want to extend his expiring contract.

The fact that Rose is now able to live out his Premier League dream is likely due in part to Dr. Percy Marshall, the former team doctor at RB Leipzig, who is said to have made the recommendation.

Could he even take the Cherries into Europe?

In Bournemouth, however, Rose—who had been without a job since his departure from Leipzig in March 2025—will definitely be stepping into big shoes, ones that could become even bigger in the coming weeks. Bournemouth are currently in strong form and are a realistic contender for at least a place in the Conference League.

Rose, who was Borussia Dortmund’s coach from July 2021 to May 2022, is said to have been preferred by the Cherries over other candidates such as Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Frank Lampard (Coventry City) and Inigo Perez (Rayo Vallecano).
