Ince Named Blackburn Manager!
Paul Ince has been named as the new manager of Blackburn Rovers and has signed a three-year contract at Ewood Park.
Blackburn began their search for a new boss earlier this month when Mark Hughes left to take over at Manchester City.
Sky Sports News revealed on Wednesday evening that Ince had emerged as the front-runner for chairman John Williams.
Former England coach Steve McClaren and ex-Bolton and Newcastle boss Sam Allardyce were both interviewed for the post, while Michael Laudrup was a shock late contender.
First choice
Once it became clear Ince was Blackburn's first choice, McClaren accepted a role with Eredivisie side FC Twente and Allardyce withdrew from the running.
Former England midfielder Ince leaves MK Dons to take over in the North West having guided his former club to the League Two title and lifting the Johnstone's Paint Trophy in his first season in charge.
The former West Ham, Manchester United, Liverpool and Internazionale player is in only his third season as a manager having started out with Macclesfield in the 2006/07 season.
He does not yet possess the necessary Uefa Pro Licence required to manage in the Premier League, and Rovers will be hoping they are granted dispensation for him to earn the qualification while in the role.

Re: Ince Named Blackburn Manager!
Now there is a shocker i was lead to belive that Steve McClown was going to get the job, just goes to show that you can't belive everything you read in the press.
