Avoiding ban will be

MARCO Rose knows it will be difficult for him to avoid a touchline ban this coming season with the Cherries – as he holds the record for the most yellow cards as a coach in Germany.

Rose admitted that keeping his cool on the touchline might be ‘really difficult’ with the rules for cards for coaches in the Premier League.

Three yellow cards lead to a one-match suspension, while six will be a two-game ban, nine means three, and 12 a misconduct hearing.

The new Cherries boss clearly wears his heart on his sleeve on the touchline, and confessed that it will be tough for him this season having looked at the regulations.

He told the Daily Echo when asked about his touchline manner: "It's a really difficult and hard topic for me because I read and got informed about the requirements in the Premier League.

"And I think in Germany I'm still the coach with the most yellow cards, just to give you a feeling, and I got two red cards as well.

"It was not always fair, but it is like it is.

"One funny story, we played the first away game last season, no, the season before because I had one year off.

"We played away in Leverkusen, and the referees were in the same hotel as us. And not just the referees, it was a group of referees because they had a meeting.

"And then I came for breakfast. I saw them sitting and I went to them and said, hey guys, this season is my season. You're not going to get in trouble, in problems with me. And I'm fine. I learned from the last season.

"And then we started the game and after 20 minutes I got a suspension. Yellow, red - yellow, and then red.

"But I think, five months later, the referee in the next game came to me and said, 'Sorry, Marco, it was too much for me.'

"Yeah, that's how it works. But I really try to be. I know it's hard and difficult to be a referee, and I try to fit."
