Matebele’s Jacobs sends warning to rivals

In a historic development, Jacobs assumed the role of head coach for the rookies under a one-year contract, with an option for an additional year. He has become the first Namibian coach to land a coaching job in Botswana. Jacobs and the Matebele team step into uncharted territory, with their debut in the BPL scheduled for September 16 against Security Systems.

At 47-years-old, Jacobs has made it clear that he did not embark on the Trans-Kalahari highway journey merely to make up the numbers in the local league. His aspirations are set on achieving a top-eight finish in the season. "My club is very ambitious and nothing wrong with it and I am also very ambitious. I did not come here to make up numbers. I also want that (top eight).
