AFC Bournemouth have confirmed the appointment of Marco Rose as their new head coach, with the German set to assume the role this summer.
Rose will replace Andoni Iraola, who earlier announced he will step down at the end of the season after a three-year spell in charge of the club.
The 49-year-old is expected to sign a three-year deal with the Premier League side, having been identified as the preferred successor due to his similar tactical philosophy and approach to the game.
Rose most recently managed RB Leipzig and has previously held managerial roles at Borussia Dortmund, Borussia Mönchengladbach and Red Bull Salzburg.
“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,” Bournemouth said on his appointment.
