With Burnley reluctant to let their manager speak to the Cherries, a host of other candidates have been linked with the position including Yeovil Town manager Gary Johnson and former Portsmouth boss Steve Cotterill.
Cotterill, who was sacked by Nottingham Forest in July, spend two years at Bournemouth as a player.
Chairman Eddie Mitchell has ruled out Harry Redknapp becoming the next Cherries boss. The 65-year-old started his management career at Bournemouth, and took on an advisory role in September. However, the former Portsmouth and Tottenham boss is not expected to be interested in the vacant position at The Goldsands Stadium.
Rofe, who is currently the First Team Coach is likely to take charge of the team when they visit Coventry on Saturday.
