Bournemouth announce Marco Rose will become the club's new head coach this summer

Andoni Iraola confirmed less than a week ago that he will leave Bournemouth at the end of the season, which led to the Cherries searching for a replacement boss.

The club have found their new head coach, and he is Marco Rose. The former RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund head coach will take charge of the Cherries next season, as he takes his first managerial role outside Germany in nine years. Rose has signed a three-year contract with the football club.

The 49-year-old's last managerial job was with RB Leipzig, where he was for two and a half years. He took charge of 124 games and won 69 matches in all competitions.

Rose has signed a three-year contract with the Premier League club, as he returns to management after over a year. He was sacked from RB Leipzig last March, and he has been out of management since.

The club's immediate focus remains firmly on finishing the current campaign as strongly as possible, with the players and staff continuing to show full commitment to achieving positive results and building on the current 13-game unbeaten run.

During Iraola's time at Rayo Vallecano, he was asked who his favourite team to watch was, and he said: "Marco Rose's Gladbach was one of my favourite teams." Now, Marco Rose will replace Andoni Iraola in the Bournemouth dugout from next season.

Bournemouth currently sit eighth in the Premier League, and are level on points with seventh-place Brentford and sixth-place Chelsea. The Cherries will be hoping to clinch European football for the first time in their history, which would be brilliant for the club.

The Cherries are on a brilliant run of form right now, which sees them unbeaten in their last 13 Premier League matches. Marco Rose's future side has won both of their last two games, which were against Arsenal and Newcastle United.

Bournemouth have not lost since 3 January, which was against the league leaders Arsenal. Up next for the Cherries is a home fixture against Leeds United, who have also won both of their last games.

Do you think Marco Rose will have European football for his first season with Bournemouth?
