Andoni Iraola once expressed his admiration for Marco Rose's Borussia Monchengladbach side in an interview, citing his fondness for German football and its dynamic, high-intensity style. Over three years later, Rose is set to take the reins at Bournemouth following Iraola's departure.
The appointment appears to be a shrewd one, as Rose has a proven track record of delivering the brand of vertical football that Iraola appreciates. Rose's experience under Jurgen Klopp at Mainz and within the Red Bull system has equipped him with the skills to implement this style.
His achievements at Borussia Monchengladbach, RB Salzburg, and RB Leipzig demonstrate his ability to qualify for the Champions League and manage teams with intensity. Rose's personable style and intelligence should help him adapt to his new role, and his experience in managing two games a week could be a significant asset if Bournemouth qualify for Europe. The club's decision to appoint Rose deserves credit, as it is a move that aligns with their values and could bring continued success.
