The 53-year-old spent 18 months as Chris Hughton's assistant. He helped keep Albion in the Championship in the 2014/15 season, before Brighton missed out on promotion to the Premier League on goal difference the following campaign.

Calderwood left to take up an assistant manager role at Aston Villa in November, 2016. Albion went on to win promotion to the Premier League that season, while Villa finished 13th.

Calderwood left Villa Park when Steve Bruce was sacked in October.
