N.E.C. Nijmegen loses Rini Coolen immediately. The club and the football director have agreed in good consultation to end the cooperation. Coolen joined the Nijmegen club on June 1, 2025. After talks between the two parties, it was established that a farewell at this moment for both N.E.C. and Coolen is the best solution. Coolen looks back on his period at N.E.C. with gratitude and the people he has met within and around the club. He wishes N.E.C., the employees, supporters, and everyone who has a warm heart for the club much success for the future. Coolen was previously active as head coach of FC Twente, AGOVV, and Rosenborg. He also played a role as coach of Feyenoord Under 21.
