Rini Coolen, former coach of Dutch club FC Twente, has been appointed coach of Adelaide United in Australia's A-League on a two-year contract.
Coolen, 43, was chosen Monday from 60 applicants to replace Aurelio Vidmar who has become assistant coach of the Australian national team. The former Dutch professional won the role ahead of Vidmar's longtime assistant Phil Stubbins.
Coolen acted as a scout for national coach Pim Verbeek during Australia's World Cup qualifying campaign and favored a Dutch style of play with an emphasis on organization and technique.
