Managerial career

Brookhuis joined NEC as a goalkeeper coach in 2004. In summer 2013 he was appointed caretaker manager alongside Ron de Groot after Alex Pastoor was sacked.[1] Brookhuis had been caretaker three times before, after the club fired Cees Lok in 2005, Dwight Lodeweges in 2009 and in August 2013.[2]

In March 2018, Brookhuis was hit by a brain haemorrhage but the club later announced, that his situation was stable and not life-threatening.[3] He was then temporarily replaced by Gábor Babos for his position as a goalkeeper coach. He returned to NEC in the July 2018 and was in a reintegration process and continued in his position, which included coaching the goalkeepers and policy-related activities for goalkeeper training for the first team, Jong NEC and the youth academy.[4]

On 3 April 2019, he was appointed as caretaker manager for Jong NEC (the U21 squad or reserve team of NEC) after Ron de Groot was promoted to first team manager.[5]
