Roy Hodgson is being lined up for a return to English football by Derby County.
Ince played under Hodgson for two years at Inter Milan 10 years ago, and Derby intend to make use of Hodgson's top-class coaching credentials to get round the fact that Ince, who will become the first black, English-born man to manage a Premier League club, does not yet have his Pro Licence.
The 60-year-old, who guided Switzerland to the 1994 World Cup and Euro 96, has been offered a job as technical director by Inter but is holding off while he waits to negotiate a deal with Derby.
