http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/teams/b/blackburn_rovers/7457696.stm Blackburn Rovers have appointed MK Dons boss Paul Ince as their new manager. The 40-year-old Ince, who has been given a three-year contract, was Rovers' number one target following Mark Hughes's exit to Manchester City. In his first season with the Dons, Ince led them to the League Two title as well as the Johnstone's Paint Trophy. His appointment marks an historic moment for the Premier League as he is the first English black manager to take charge of a top-flight club. Frenchman Jean Tigana with Fulham and Ruud Gullit with Chelsea and Newcastle are the only other two black managers to have managed in the Premier League. Ince will be officially presented as Blackburn's manager on Tuesday. Last week the Premier League gave Rovers dispensation over Ince's failure to hold a Uefa Pro Licence. The former West Ham, Manchester United, Inter Milan, Liverpool and England midfielder will be allowed two years to earn his licence. --
