Bournemouth's search for a new head coach has begun, with Marco Rose and Kieran McKenna being considered as potential replacements for Andoni Iraola. The club aims to finalize the appointment quickly, allowing for immediate planning for the next season. Rose, who was previously sacked by RB Leipzig, is seen as the favorite due to his experience and footballing philosophy, which aligns with Iraola's style. McKenna, currently managing Ipswich, is also a contender, but his involvement in a promotion push may complicate a swift appointment.

Iraola, who is leaving the club after a successful three-year tenure, has been linked to other opportunities, including a return to Athletic Bilbao and the Manchester United job.
