According to Sky Sports News, Marco Rose, the former manager of RB Salzburg and Borussia Dortmund, is among the three candidates shortlisted to succeed Iraola. Iraola's contract is set to expire in three months, and despite numerous offers to extend his stay, he has chosen to depart. The Spanish coach has been in charge of Bournemouth for a record-breaking three years, during which the team has experienced significant success. His final home game will be against Manchester City on May 17, followed by a trip to Nottingham Forest on the last day of the Premier League season.

He will leave the club as one of the hottest coaching prospects in the Premier League, with several clubs already expressing interest in hiring him. Athletic Club, his former club, is among the teams interested in bringing him back, while other clubs like Crystal Palace and Tottenham have also been linked to him in the past. Iraola's departure from Bournemouth marks the end of an era, and the club will be looking to find a suitable replacement to build on the success he has achieved.
