A year after leaving the club to take over Blackburn Rovers Ince returned to the Dons to once again take over the reigns.
And he feels his time with Rovers in the Premier League, though it turned ill-fated, has only been positive for his growth as a manager.
He told MK NEWS: "I think my record speaks itself from Macclesfield, to winning the double in Milton Keynes.
"Blackburn was a great learning curve for me, I didn't really get the tools I needed to do the job. Six months experience in the Premiership that will stand me in good stead for the two years I've got in Milton Keynes."
A few months out of the game hasn't done his hunger for the game any harm either.
"It's exciting, it's nice to come back and see some old faces. When I drove into the stadium it still gave me that buzz. I can't wait to get started now.
"I've just come out the Premiership, and it was a case of dropping down two leagues . If I was going to do that it would only be for Milton Keynes, no one else. I wouldn't have gone to any other League One side,
"This is where it all happened for me. I've got a great rapport with the fans. As the chairman said I've got some unfinished business here.
"I woke up with a buzz in my stomach. I can't wait to get started."
While Ince may have returned to the club, his back room staff are yet to be appointed.
The 41-year-old confirmed they are currently in talks with his old club Blackburn to reach an agreement to bring Karl Robinson back to the Dons.
Robinson currently remains on the Blackburn coaching staff but Ince wants him at stadiummk.
