Ex Cardiff City manager Paul Trollope missed out on the Aston Villa job but looks like he will return to the game very quickly

Paul Trollope could return to the Cardiff City Stadium in just a fortnight's time.

Reports in Brighton say that the sacked Bluebirds boss is set to land the assistant manager's job at high-flying Brighton & Hove Albion.

Trollope had been interviewed for the same role at Aston Villa, but Steve Bruce instead opted for former Scotland international Colin Calderwood.

Calderwood had been working at The Amex Stadium with Chris Hughton, and it looks as if the side second in the table will replace him with Trollope.
