Jacobs jumps ship to Unam
One of Namibia's most successful football coaches, Woody Jacobs, has landed a three-year deal with Unam Football Club.
Jacobs was coaching Okahandja United, but has jumped ship to mentor the Clever Boys, it was announced yesterday. The Clever Boys have been without a coach since Ronny Kanalelo resigned late last year.
“The University of Namibia undertook a fair, transparent and intensive recruitment process, which ensured that we attract the best candidate for the head coach position.
“Therefore, on behalf of Unam, it is with much enthusiasm and pride that we would like to inform all our fans, sponsors and the football nation at large of the appointment of Jacobs as the new head coach as of 16 January 2019.
“Coach Jacobs comes with a wealth of coaching experience and as a university we are confident that his experience and skills will enable us to reach our season goals and targets.
“We are also confident that he will develop our student-athletes to help them become the best version of themselves on and off the field,” Professor Frednard Gideon, Unam FC chairman said. Jacobs will be assisted by Marcello Wakudumo. “We are excited to have him on board, and are therefore confident that with his background and understanding of the game, alongside Jacobs, Unam will continue to be a formidable force in the premiership,” Gideon added.
