Marco Rose Bournemouth appointment is a radical change in management as the Premier league club gears towards a new start. Marco Rose has accepted to be the new manager of AFC Bournemouth next season replacing Andoni Iraola.
The move could not be made at a better moment than now as Bournemouth are on the verge of making a historic European qualification. The club is sitting at the summit of the Premier League table, its objective is to build on the recent gains and not to start afresh.
Rose comes with good credentials. His past experiences with Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig demonstrate that he can handle high-intensity football and build competitive teams. The leadership of Bournemouth seems to be focusing on future progress through hiring a coach who has the experience of Europe.
In the meantime, the exit of Iraola is considered to be a natural progression and not a defeat. The Spanish coach has considerably raised the performance of the club in three seasons and currently he is being eyed by other top clubs as well as the possibility of returning to Athletic Bilbao.
Strategically, the Bournemouth move is an indication of ambition. As opposed to a safe/domestic appointment, the club is investing in a manager who has a reputation of being tactically disciplined and attacking systems. This goes in line with their present path as they pursue greater league placements and maybe European competitions.
The next season will now have an addition of expectations. Rose will not only have to continue the pace, but he will also have to make his experience translate into the stable performances in one of the most competitive leagues in the world football.
