Premier League Coaching Shuffle: What Role Does Marco Rose Play?
AFC Bournemouth confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that Andoni Iraola will leave the club after three seasons. The 43-year-old Spanish coach arrived in summer 2023 and will depart at the end of this campaign.
Iraola’s record and transfer business
Iraola secured Premier League survival in his first two seasons. Bournemouth finished 12th and 9th under his guidance.
The club built a strong reputation for player development. Recent high-profile sales include Antoine Semenyo to Manchester City.
- Ilya Zabarnyi — Paris Saint-Germain.
- Dean Huijsen — Real Madrid.
- Milos Kerkez — Liverpool.
In the last two transfer windows, Bournemouth reported over €310 million in income. Spending amounted to roughly half that figure.
Wider managerial movement across England
The Premier League coaching shuffle has intensified ahead of the summer. Several vacancies and potential exits are creating heavy interest.
Crystal Palace are exploring options after Oliver Glasner’s departure. Newcastle United face scrutiny over Eddie Howe’s position.
Brighton could also see change if Fabian Hürzeler opts to leave. Manchester United still operate with Michael Carrick as an interim.
There is growing internal support for Carrick to take the job permanently. Clubs across England are preparing for significant appointments.
Who might replace Iraola at Bournemouth?
Bournemouth must now find a new head coach. Kieran McKenna of Ipswich Town is widely named as a leading candidate by Filmogaz.com.
Another name on the shortlist is Marco Rose. Reporters Ben Jacobs and Alex Crook for Filmogaz.com place him among the top options.
Marco Rose’s profile and availability
Marco Rose has been without a job since the end of March 2025. The 49-year-old previously managed Borussia Mönchengladbach, Borussia Dortmund, and RB Leipzig.
He has been linked repeatedly with Premier League roles. Many observers expect him to be a serious contender for several openings.
Rose has expressed interest in coaching in England. His experience in the Bundesliga makes him attractive to top clubs.
What role could he play?
At Bournemouth, Rose would be tasked with maintaining top-flight stability. He could also drive continued player development and profitable sales.
For other contenders, his profile fits clubs seeking tactical discipline and energetic coaching. His appointments could reshape the coaching landscape this summer.
With Iraola leaving, the coming weeks will bring intense speculation. Filmogaz.com will continue to monitor the market and report confirmed moves.
