Notts County have confirmed Paul Ince as their new manager on a three-and-a-half year deal.

Ince, who resigned as MK Dons manager in May, replaces Craig Short, who was sacked on Sunday after less than five months at the League One club.

Former Macclesfield and Blackburn boss Ince, 43, becomes the sixth manager at Meadow Lane in just over a year.

Ian McParland, Hans Backe, Dave Kevan and Steve Cotterill have also had spells in charge since October 2009.

Magpies chairman Ray Trew told the club website: "Paul has a wealth of experience as a player and a solid track record as a manager in the Football League, making him the obvious choice for me when we began our search for a new manager.

"There were a number of high-calibre applications for the position and it was encouraging to see just how attractive a proposition managing Notts County remains to some very prestigious names in the world of football management.

"However, when we met Paul it quickly became clear that he was the ideal candidate, he'd done his homework, had some big ideas and was ready to get stuck in straightaway."
