Ryan Koolwijk (born 8 August 1985) is a professional football manager and former player who is the assistant coach of the Suriname national team.

During his playing career, he played for Excelsior, NEC, Dordrecht, AS Trenčín, Almere City, and PEC Zwolle. Born in the Netherlands, he represented the Suriname national team.

Club career

[edit]

Born in Rotterdam, Koolwijk began his senior career with Excelsior during the 2007–08 season. He signed for NEC in May 2011.[4] He also played for Dordrecht and AS Trenčín,[1][5] before returning to Excelsior in May 2016.[6] He returned to Trenčín in June 2019 and became a regular in the team's starting eleven.[7] In April 2020, when the Fortuna Liga was suspended due to the COVID-19 pandemic in the country, Koolwijk ended his contract with the club by mutual agreement, as he intended to spend more time with his family in the Netherlands and he was dissatisfied by the proposed salary cut of over 50%, due to the pandemic.[8] He signed with Almere City in May 2020.[9]

He signed for PEC Zwolle in September 2021.[10] After a season, which ended with relegation to the 2022–23 Eerste Divisie, 36-year old Koolwijk announced his retirement from football, as he had accepted a job offer as assistant coach of the Suriname national team.[11]

International career

[edit]

Born in the Netherlands, Koolwijk is of Surinamese descent.[12] He debuted with the Suriname national team in a 6–0 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification win over Bermuda on 4 June 2021.[13] On 25 June Koolwijk was named to the Suriname squad for the 2021 CONCACAF Gold Cup.[14]
