Paul Ince has returned to MK Dons for his
second spell as manager on a two-year contract - little more than a
year after leaving for Blackburn.
The former Manchester United and England midfielder has
signed up with the Buckinghamshire club until June 2012 and he will
be hoping he repeat the success of his previous one-year spell
where he led them to the League Two title as well as the
Johnstone's Paint Trophy.
The 41-year-old then moved to Blackburn where he experienced a
turbulent six months in charge of the Premier League club and he
was sacked after winning just six games to be replaced by Sam
Allardyce.
Ince will replace Roberto Di Matteo who left to join West Brom
earlier this week and he will be looking to guide the side into the
Championship after they lost in the play-offs last season.
Chairman Pete Winkelman told the club's official website: "I'm
absolutely thrilled to be able to bring Paul back to Milton
Keynes.
"He enjoyed incredible success during his first spell with us
and showed himself more than worthy of a shot at the Premier
League.
"But we always felt he had unfinished business here and it feels
absolutely right that he should return to the club and build on the
very momentum he helped to create."
