Player career

De Graafschap loaned him to the following season through attractive performances . However, Coolen did not make it into the team there, so that he returned to Almelo in 1990/91. He stayed there until 1994. With the team he reached sixth place in 1991 and 1992 and fourth place in 1994. In the summer of 1994 Coolen moved again to a league competitor, the AZ Alkmaar . In its last professional season, the club reached first place in the Eerste Divisie and was thus able to celebrate promotion to the Eredivisie .

Coaching career

Shortly after the end of his active career, Coolen returned to Almelo. There he was an assistant between 1996 and 1999 before he moved to FC Twente Enschede . There the former defender looked after the reserve team. For the 2002/03 season René Vandereycken ordered him into the professional team, where Coolen was henceforth active as an assistant coach. After Vanderecken left in 2004, his assistant took over the management. This was Coolen's first head coach station. In the first year he reached fifth place in the Eredivisie with Twente. In the following season, the coach was fired on February 1, 2006. In the summer of 2006 he was finally drawn to AGOVV Apeldoorn in the second division. After the club was close to relegation, Coolen was fired on February 21, 2007. It wasn't until November of the following year that he found a new club and signed with RBC Roosendaal . However, the team reached only a disappointing 16th place in the Eerste Divisie after the 2008/09 season.

On July 5, 2010 Coolen signed a contract with the Australian club Adelaide United . After a poor start to the 2011/12 season , Coolen was relieved of his duties as head coach in December 2011 and will be responsible for the club's youth program in the future.

He has been the head coach of Rosenborg Trondheim since July 2018.
