New Blackburn boss Paul Ince has revealed his wish to one day take charge of Internazionale.

Ince was appointed to the Ewood Park hotseat last week after successful stints at Macclesfield and then Milton Keynes Dons.

He has been mentioned as a potential future England manager but he admits he finds himself thinking about Inter more often.

The former midfielder spent two years at the Stadio Giuseppe Meazza as a player and longs to return at some point in the future.

However, he is currently focusing solely on his first season in the Premier League as he looks to improve on Rovers' seventh-placed finish from last term.

"My dream was always to manage in the Premier League," Ince told Radio Five Live. "Now I have the chance to do that.

Patriotic

"I'm very patriotic. I love my country, I loved playing for it.

"In time to come there could be a chance to be in charge, but there are a lot of better managers out there who are probably in front of me when it comes to the England job.

"If I was to have a dream it would probably be to go and manage Inter Milan in the future. I had two great years there and I'd love to go back.

"In the meantime, all my energies are focused on Blackburn having a really good season."
