After his active career, he was immediately hired as goalkeeper coach for NAC Breda, where he stayed until the summer of 2020. From there, he was hired in an identical position at Anderlecht.[2] During the 2018–19 season, Ten Rouwelaar was also functioning as a goalkeeper coach for the Dutch U-20 national team.[3]
In July 2022, Jelle ten Rouwelaar moved to English Premier League club Burnley under newly hired manager, Vincent Kompany, who he also worked under at Anderlecht.
In July 2024, he joined Ajax as goalkeeping coach, but left within eight days, as his compensation fee was paid by Manchester United, who signed him to replace Richard Hartis, who left the club after five years, as a part of the overhaul under the new ownership structure. On 11 November 2024, following Ruben Amorim's appointment as head coach, ten Rouwelaar left Manchester United's coaching staff.[4]
