Former Borussia Dortmund Coach Favored to Replace Iraola at Bournemouth Helm

German coach Marco Rose could soon make his return to the dugout, potentially taking over Premier League side Bournemouth, according to Sky Sport. Rose is a strong candidate to succeed outgoing manager Andoni Iraola at the club this summer. Bournemouth has already held concrete discussions with the 49-year-old German, who has been without a club since leaving RB Leipzig at the end of March 2025.

Also on Bournemouth's radar is former England international Frank Lampard, who is on the verge of guiding Coventry City back to the Premier League. Marco Rose spent two years as head coach at RB Salzburg before moving to the Bundesliga in 2019. Two strong seasons at Borussia Mönchengladbach earned him the coaching role at Borussia Dortmund, where he remained for 12 months. The German later returned to his hometown to take charge of RB Leipzig, leading them for two and a half years.
