BRIEF-Soccer-Former Blackburn manager Ince returns to MK Dons

LONDON, July 3 (Reuters) - Former Blackburn Rovers manager Paul Ince has rejoined Milton Keynes Dons, the English League One (third division) side said on Friday.

Ince, 40, whose ill-fated six-month spell in charge of Premier League Blackburn ended in December, led MK Dons to the League Two (fourth division) title in his first season in charge in 2007/08.

"He remains one of the most talented young managers in this country and I'm enormously excited about what he can help us achieve," MK Dons chairman Pete Winkleman told the club's website (www.mkdons.com)

Ince, who won 53 England caps, signed a two-year deal with the Dons to replace Roberto Di Matteo who left to join Championship (second division) West Bromwich Albion on Tuesday.
