Rose's experience 'helpful' if Bournemouth qualify for Europe

Bournemouth's new head coach Marco Rose will bring Jurgen Klopp-style football and a lot of experience to Vitality Stadium next season, says German football writer Constantin Eckner.

He said: "Rose represents that style of football that became somewhat famous through the Red Bull teams - intensity, high pressing and there's a lot of influence from Jurgen Klopp. He played over 150 games for Klopp at Mainz in the 2000s.

"Rose brings a lot of experience from the Champions League and Europa League; he coached almost 70 games in both competitions combined so, if Bournemouth qualify for Europe, it will be helpful to have Rose's experience."

The former RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund boss will be succeeding Andoni Iraola in the summer and BBC Radio Solent's Jordan Clark believes the takeover should be seamless.

"I think it makes a lot of sense when you read into it and dig a bit deeper around Marco Rose in terms of what Bournemouth have been trying to do around the last three years or so, and certainly since they moved away from Gary O'Neil and appointed Andoni Iraola," said Clark.

"He's got a very clear playing style; it's high pressing, high intensity, attacking and all of those things are what Iraola's been trying to do.

"This seems to be the model and the philosophy for Bournemouth - they've brought somebody in who can play a similar style and the players should be used to it. It shouldn't be too unfamiliar to them and it feels like an appointment looking towards the next step."
