Ariël Jacobs (Dutch pronunciation: [ˈaːriˌjɛl ˈjaːkɔps]; born 25 July 1953) is a Belgian football manager and former player who most recently managed Ligue 1 side Valenciennes FC and is currently employed as Director of Football at Oud-Heverlee Leuven.
While at La Louvière he led them to victory in the 2002–03 Belgian Cup. [1]
Jacobs became new manager of FC Copenhagen in June 2012 following Carsten V. Jensen's resignation. [2] His first season as manager of the club was a success and he led the club to the Danish Superliga-title in the 2012–13 season. [3] On 21 August 2013, he was sacked as manager of FC Copenhagen as he failed to win in his first five games in the league. [4]
On 14 October 2013, Jacobs was appointed manager of Valenciennes FC. [5] He failed to secure the team from relegation following the 2013–14 Ligue 1 and he therefore left the club in July 2014. [6]
