Roberto Di Matteo is expected to be named as Paul Ince's successor at MK Dons, reports BBC Three Counties Radio.

The former Chelsea midfielder, 38, has emerged as favourite after discussions with chairman Pete Winkelman and could be unveiled in the next 48 hours.

Di Matteo won 34 caps for Italy during spells with Lazio and Chelsea and retired from playing in 2002.

Ince left to replace Mark Hughes at Blackburn last month after guiding the Dons to League Two title last season.

Winkleman was keen to appoint a new manager as quickly as possible with the Dons players reporting back for pre-season training on Monday and said he had received 40 applications for the vacant post.
