New Blackpool manager Paul Ince wants Scotland youth boss Ricky Sbragia to join him at Bloomfield Road.
SunSports suggests that the former Liverpool and Manchester United midfielder, who took the reins at Blackpool on Monday, is keen to have former Sunderland manager Sbragia with him in England's Northwest.
Sbragia previously held an important role at Manchester United when he was in charge of nurturing youth players and Ince wants him to perform a similar job for the Seasiders.
It is also believed that Ince is keen to bring in ex-Millwall and Rangers midfielder Alex Rae whom he played with at Wolves in the early 2000s.
