• Former England midfielder on St Andrew's short list
• Hughton, Zola and Billy Davies are other candidates
Paul Ince has had disappointments in his last two jobs at Blackburn Rovers and Notts County
Paul Ince is among the candidates being considered by Birmingham City to replace Alex McLeish.
Birmingham, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, have spoken to the former Newcastle manager Chris Hughton and are also considering offering Gianfranco Zola a chance to return to English football, a year after leaving West Ham. Billy Davies is another candidate following his sacking at Nottingham Forest.
Ince has also been discussed by Watford, who are looking for a replacement for Malkay Mackay, who has joined Cardiff City.
Ince, 43, left his last managerial post, at Notts County, in April, after a six-month spell at Meadow Lane saw the League One side lose a club record nine games in a row.
