Rose was born in Leipzig in September 1976 in the former East Germany, and, as a player, he featured for Lokomotive Leipzig, Hannover 96 and Mainz 05, where he played under Jurgen Klopp.
A defender, Rose saw success under Klopp and was part of the side which got promoted to the Bundesliga, and he stayed at Mainz for the remainder of his career, dropping into the second side towards the latter stages.
He began his coaching career there, working as a player-coach, before heading to Lok Leipzig as manager.

A move to RB Salzburg was next, as Rose took up a job in the club’s academy, and he impressed and progressed through the ranks. He led the side to the 2016/17 UEFA Youth League title after beating Barcelona in the semifinal and Benfica in the final.
His good work with the academy earned a promotion to the first team, and he took over for the start of the 17/18 campaign following the departure of Oscar Garcia.
An Austrian league title and a Europa League semifinal came in Rose’s first season at the helm, as well as a defeat in the final of the Austian cup.
Rose made it two titles in two seasons in his second term with the team and won the cup while their Europa League exit came in the round of 16.

Borussia Monchengladbach came calling and he headed to Germany, taking Gladbach to fourth in his first season, before a run to the knockout stages of the Champions League in his second season, where they were knocked out by Manchester City.
Rose was appointed Borussia Dortmund boss next, where he spent one season despite a second-place finish in the Bundesliga.
A return to Leipzig was next for Rose, and he headed back to a Red Bull club with RB Leipzig.
He won trophies as Leipzig boss in a two-and-a-half-year stint with the club, most notably the DFB-Pokal in his first season.

Rose plays a similar style of football to outgoing Bournemouth boss Andoni Iraola, which attracted him to the Cherries for some continuity.
Iraola has previously expressed his admiration for the German, praising his Gladbach side as one of his favourites to watch, and the pair met in Bournemouth this week to discuss the club with the handover between coaches underway.
He was also brought in for his work with young players, which has been a hallmark of Iraola’s side, with the likes of Junior Kroupi and Rayan playing important roles in the Bournemouth side.
Rose joins Bournemouth on a three-year deal, and he’ll get straight to work on what promises to be yet another historic campaign for the club.
