New job: Marco Rose all but set for Premier League role | OneFootball

A good year after his departure from RB Leipzig, Marco Rose has a new job on the horizon. According to consistent media reports, the former Borussia Dortmund coach will take over AFC Bournemouth next season and thus be able to fulfill his dream of the Premier League.

As Sky reports, citing its English colleagues at Sky UK, Rose has agreed a long-term contract with the team currently sitting 11th in England. Rose, whose contract with RB Leipzig expires on June 30 following his dismissal in March 2025, will succeed successful coach Andoni Iraola, who recently announced that he will not sign a new deal and has already been linked with Newcastle United, Athletic Bilbao, and Bayer Leverkusen.

Rose’s appointment is not official yet, but the 49-year-old has apparently prevailed over other candidates who were also under consideration, such as Kieran McKenna (Ipswich Town), Frank Lampard (Coventry City), and Inigo Perez (Rayo Vallecano).

Iraola leaves big shoes to fill

For Rose, who was Borussia Dortmund’s coach from July 2021 to May 2022, this will be his first job in a non-German-speaking country. The Leipzig native has previously worked outside Germany for Red Bull Salzburg, but he did not have to adapt linguistically there.

In Bournemouth, however, Rose is facing a challenge not only for that reason, but also because the shoes left to fill by Iraola are indeed quite big.
