Ince was appointed as Rovers head coach in June following the departure of Mark Hughes to Manchester City.

Hughes spent three-and-a-half successful seasons at Ewood Park, but Dunn believes Ince has what it takes to continue Hughes' success.

Ince made his name as a player at Manchester United where he picked up 10 winners medals across different competitions during his six seasons at Old Trafford.

Dunn believes the winning mentality that Ince developed as a player will be beneficial to Blackburn as they look to get back into Europe after narrowly missing out on qualification into the Intertoto Cup last season.

"He captained the best team in England (Manchester United) over the last 10 or 15 years. So he has a presence about him which goes through the squad - we want to do well for him," said Dunn.

"We have to keep progressing and moving forward. It's certainly the right appointment.

"We just missed out on Europe last season so it has to be our aim to get back in there. We're looking to push on and get back in there.

"The biggest thing about my last four managers (Graeme Souness, Steve Bruce, Mark Hughes and Paul Ince) is that they've all been successful as players.

"They are no different as managers, they are very ambitious, have a good work ethic and want to get results.

"Anyone who has played for Liverpool and Man United has a real hunger and desire to win games and win leagues."
