Dooley is currently the head coach of the [[Guyana national football team|Guyana national team]].

==Early life==
Dooley was born in [[Bechhofen, Rhineland-Palatinate|Bechhofen]], West Germany to a German mother and a father who served in the [[U.S. Army]].<ref name="asn">{{cite web|url=http://americansoccernow.com/articles/thomas-dooley-takes-over-philippines-national-team|title=Thomas Dooley Takes Over Philippines National Team|website=American Soccer Now|author=Brian Sciaretta|date=February 20, 2014|access-date=June 27, 2018}}</ref>

==Club career==
Dooley played as a forward with amateur team [[FK Pirmasens]]. He started his professional career in 1984 with third division club [[FC Homburg]]. He moved to midfield with Homburg and helped the team move steadily up the German leagues, until they finally reached the [[Bundesliga]].<ref>{{cite web|publisher=FIFA|title=Dooley, USA's German giant |url=https://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/stories/doyouremember/news/newsid=991997.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090613040125/http://www.fifa.com/classicfootball/stories/doyouremember/news/newsid=991997.html|url-status=dead|archive-date=June 13, 2009|access-date=January 21, 2010}}</ref>

He moved to [[1. FC Kaiserslautern]] in 1988 and helped them to the [[German Cup]] in 1990 and the Bundesliga title in 1991. He also played as they won the [[1991 DFB-Supercup]].<ref>{{Cite web |url=https://www.dfb.de/supercup/das-spiel/?spieledb_path=%2Fmatches%2F1972322 |title=Deutscher Supercup, 1991, Finale |date=October 16, 2014 |publisher=dfb.de |access-date=5 November 2020}}</ref> After the 1994 World Cup, he moved to [[Bayer Leverkusen]], and to [[FC Schalke 04|Schalke 04]] a year after that, helping them to the [[UEFA Cup 1996-97|1997 UEFA Cup]] title.

At the end of the season, he moved to [[Major League Soccer]] (MLS), signing with the [[Columbus Crew]]. Dooley spent three seasons in Columbus and was named to the [[MLS Best XI]] in both 1997 and 1998. In 2000, Thomas was traded to the [[MetroStars]] for [[Mike Duhaney]], partially to help support [[Lothar Matthäus]]' adjustment to the United States. Dooley played one year for the Metros before retiring from playing football/soccer.

==International career==
As U.S. Soccer started to look abroad for players eligible to play for its national team in advance of its hosting the [[1994 FIFA World Cup]], Dooley was discovered.  He made his first international appearance on May 30, 1992, against [[Republic of Ireland national football team|Ireland]]. Dooley became a regular for the U.S. almost immediately, being named [[U.S. Soccer Athlete of the Year]] in 1993 and then playing every minute at the 1994 World Cup, including the match against [[Colombia national football team|Colombia]] which the U.S. won 2–1. After [[John Harkes]] was dismissed from the U.S. national team, Dooley was named captain for the [[1998 FIFA World Cup|1998 World Cup]], and started every game for the U.S.<ref>{{FIFA player|77537}}</ref>

On February 21, 1999, Dooley was given a send-off match by the United States in a friendly against [[Chile national football team|Chile]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.abs-cbn.com/sports/01/31/14/former-us-skipper-dooley-appointed-azkals-coach|title=Ex-US skipper Dooley is new Azkals coach: report|website=ABS-CBN News|date=January 31, 2014|access-date=June 27, 2018}}</ref> He ended his international career with 81 caps and seven goals.<ref name="asn"/>

Dooley earned national team coach [[Dan Palami]]'s praise after his first few matches in charge. Palami commended Dooley's ability to foster a better understanding of the game to his squad and give subs and reserves chances to step up in the absence of star players. "Our players have a better understanding of the role they have to play in their respective positions under Dooley's system that anyone can step up even if we don't have our stars playing," Palami said.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.rappler.com/sports/by-sport/football/56097-palami-azkals-chances-afc-challenge-cup |title=Palami likes Azkals' chances in AFC Challenge Cup |publisher=Rappler|date=April 22, 2014 |access-date=October 7, 2015}}</ref>
