Biography

He retired in 1995, and afterwards became a football manager who worked for Heracles Almelo, FC Twente, and AGOVV Apeldoorn. By mutual agreement he left FC Twente on February 1, 2006. In November 2008 he signed for RBC Roosendaal as the successor of released coach Rob Meppelink. In 2010 he was appointment as the manager of A-League team Adelaide United.

His inaugural season with Adelaide United proved to be a huge success, taking the club from their disastrous bottom-placed finish in the 2009-10 season to third place in the 2010-11 season. However, his time at the club was marred off-field dramas, most notably surrounding former Reds captain Travis Dodd who has since moved to Perth Glory.^[1]

After a poor start to the 2011/2012 season, it was announced on 18 December 2011 that Coolen would be replaced by former Adelaide United coach John Kosmina. He was supposed to stay at the club as the youth team coach,^[2] however on 21 December 2011, it was annouced that he had left the club.
