Coutinho played in the youth of SV Real Luned in Vught , when he carried Scouts of PSV Eindhoven was discovered. At PSV he received his first professional contract for the 2000/01 season . He made his debut in the Eredivisie on May 6, 2001 in a 3-0 home win against sc Heerenveen , when he came on in the 66th minute for goalkeeper Ronald Waterreus .

PSV won all four games, although Coutinho had to back up five times. At the end of the season PSV celebrated the championship; In the lost cup final, however, Waterreus was back between the posts, who shared the job in the PSV goal in the following season with the 34-year-old veteran Patrick Lodewijks .

Coutinho did not come to any further missions and was loaned to FC Den Bosch in his hometown for the 2002/03 season, where he was not used as a reserve goalkeeper in the Eerste Divisie . He returned to the Eredivisie, where he was allowed to play three times instead of goalkeeper Gábor Babos at NAC Breda and was substituted on once in the UEFA Cup .

In the 2010/11 season , Coutinho, now 28 years old, benefited from an injury of Zwinkels', who had been preferred by coach John van den Brom , in the first league match at Vitesse. Ditewig had left the club after only one season; the third goalkeeper was 19-year-old Tom Boks. Coutinho took Zwinkels' place, and while the club was still looking for a replacement for a few weeks, Coutinho became a regular goalkeeper. He was one of the guarantors that the relegation candidate of previous years temporarily rose to fifth place in the league and at the end of the season finished seventh in the play-off games for a place in the Europa League qualification. In the decisive penalty shootout against FC Groningen he saved a shot from Tim Sparv ; ADO won the duel from point 4: 3 and moved into a European competition for the first time since the 1987/88 season .
