Paul Ince has agreed a contract to become the new manager of Blackburn Rovers, believed to be worth £1.5 million. The 40 year old boss signed from MK Dons and agreed a three year deal. Ince makes history by becoming the first black English manager in the Premiership. Ince has had successful runs at Macclesfield and MK Dons, who he promoted to League 1 last year.
"The club had a tremendous season under Paul's guidance, winning promotion via the League Two title and the Johnstone's Paint Trophy at Wembley," said MK Dons chairman Peter Winkelman in a club statement. "We were aware that a number of clubs would be alerted to Paul's considerable talents and that retaining his services might prove an impossible challenge.
"After what he has achieved in his time with the club we cannot deny Paul the deserved opportunity to work in the greatest league in the world and we know everybody in Milton Keynes will join us in wishing him every continued success in what is certain to be a fantastic managerial career."
