Bournemouth is moving swiftly to find a replacement for Andoni Iraola, with Marco Rose currently the frontrunner for the position. The club has compiled a shortlist of three potential candidates, which also includes Kieran McKenna from Ipswich. Following the confirmation of Iraola's departure at the end of his contract, Bournemouth is keen to appoint his successor quickly.
Rose, who was dismissed by RB Leipzig in March 2025, is the key figure to watch, given his availability and experience. Meanwhile, McKenna is still focused on securing promotion to the Premier League with Ipswich.
Another name admired by Bournemouth is Inigo Perez, Iraola's former assistant, although he is not currently on the shortlist. The club aims to finalize the appointment within the next week or two to facilitate immediate planning for the upcoming season, which may include European competitions.
