INCE HANDED ROVERS' POST

Paul Ince has been named the new manager of Blackburn Rovers.

The 40 year old has left the MK Dons to become the first black English manager in the top flight.

Ince, who guided the Dons to the League Two title and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in his one season at the club, has signed a three year deal to replace Mark Hughes, who quit earlier in the summer to take over at Manchester City.

Last week the Premier League said Rovers were free to appoint the former Manchester United, Inter Milan and Liverpool man, despite him not holding a UEFA Pro License.
