Bournemouth is expected to name a new head coach soon, with Marco Rose and Kieran McKenna being considered as potential replacements for Andoni Iraola. Rose, who was sacked by RB Leipzig in March 2025, is thought to be the frontrunner, while McKenna is still focused on securing promotion with Ipswich. The club aims to make a quick appointment to begin planning for the next season, which may include European competition.
Iraola, who is leaving the club at the end of the season, has been linked with a return to Athletic Bilbao and the Manchester United job. Bournemouth is seeking a coach who can build on Iraola's successful tenure and lead the team to further success.
