Colin Calderwood (born 20 January 1965 in Stranraer) is a Scottish football player and coach, who is presently the assistant manager of Aston Villa.
Calderwood made over 150 league appearances for Swindon Town and Tottenham Hotspur. He was a regular player for the Scotland national football team during the late 1990s, appearing in two major tournaments. Calderwood retired as a player in 2001.
Calderwood became manager of Northampton Town in 2003, guiding the club to promotion in 2006. He then became manager of Nottingham Forest, helping the club win promotion in 2008. Calderwood was sacked by Forest in December 2008 and then moved to Newcastle United, working as first team coach. After a year with the Tyneside club, Calderwood became a manager again by moving to Hibernian, but he was sacked after just over a year in that job.
In recent years, Calderwood has been known for his association with Chris Hughton, acting as his assistant manager at Newcastle United, Birmingham City, Norwich City and Brighton & Hove Albion.
Despite being born in Stranraer, Calderwood never played in the Scottish leagues. He started his career in the lower reaches of The Football League in England, with Mansfield Town. He played 100 league games for the club, three as substitute. His debut for Mansfield was spoiled by the club making an error in his registration which caused them to be deducted two league points.
Swindon Town manager Lou Macari signed Calderwood from Mansfield Town in 1985, with a Football League tribunal setting the fee at £27,500.
