Former Scotland defender joins backroom staff
FORMER Scotland international Colin Calderwood has joined Newcastle United as a first-team coach until the end of the season.
The 44-year-old was at the club's Benton headquarters on Monday morning as the Magpies continued their preparations for Wednesday's trip to Manchester City.
And boss Joe Kinnear has welcomed his arrival on Tyneside.
"We have Colin Calderwood on board now," he said.
"He will be joining us until the end of the season to bring something else to our backroom team."
Calderwood left Nottingham Forest as manager in December after two-and-a-half years at the City Ground.
He has previously managed Northampton Town and enjoyed a 19-year playing career which involved spells at Mansfield Town, Swindon Town, Tottenham Hotspur, Aston Villa, Forest and Notts County.
