Playing career

Brinkmann was born in Essen. In his youth, he played for various clubs in the Ruhr Area. He started his senior career at Borussia Dortmund in 1997.

From 1998 to 2003, he spent five years in the Oberliga and the Regionalliga with Rot-Weiss Essen. Then he went to 2. Bundesliga-side Alemannia Aachen.

Brinkmann then successfully spent two years in Aachen along with players like Frank Paulus and Emmanuel Krontiris. He was part of the so-called "New Alemannia" and was capped 54 times. However, in 2005 he went to Eintracht Braunschweig, which was also a member of the 2. Bundesliga at that time.

Coaching career

After four years working as a youth coach and assistant manager of VfL Bochum, Brinkmann was hired by Wuppertaler SV from January 2016 as the U-19 manager and he would also serve as an office manager. On 28 November 2016, he left the position as U-19 manager and continued only as an office manager.[2] He left the club at the end of the 2016–17 season and was appointed as the manager of TuRU Düsseldorf.[3] He was fired on 29 October 2017.

On 30 January 2018, FC Gütersloh 2000 announced that Brinkmann would be the manager for the 2018–19 season.[4] His twin-brother, Tim Brinkmann, was also hired at the club as the sporting director. Both left the club on 26 February 2019.[5]
