Rangers have confirmed the appointment of Belgian Zeb Jacobs as the new Head of Academy Coaching at the club – and Gers fans on Twitter are delighted with the news.
Jacobs will replace Graeme Murty after the former interim boss announced he was leaving the club last month having spent five years at Rangers in a variety of roles.
The Light Blues confirmed his appointment earlier today with sporting director revealing that former Rangers coach Mick Beale played a role in helping to identify Jacobs as the ideal fit to push the Gers’ Academy on.
“From the outset of my leadership of our Football Operation, I have remained consistent in my desire to work with Craig to push our academy and player development forward,” Wilson told Rangers TV.
“We had to establish a clear Rangers coaching profile for how we will teach and educate our young players, and for that profile to be embedded in our football strategy. Furthermore, we have sought to align our football identity across all of our squads and the progress that we have made on that has been excellent.
“I am pleased that we have continued in our energies to evolve all of this work on an on-going basis and we will continue to do so moving forward, always looking to see what’s next for us to enhance.
“I’ve enjoyed all of my conversations and interactions with Zeb in recent months and I am excited about what he will bring to Rangers. With Dave Vos joining our team last week, we have recruited two leading experts in talent development and that can only be good for what we are building here at Rangers.”
Fans on Twitter were delighted at the news of Jacobs’ appointment as the club move into a new era following Gio van Bronckhorst’s arrival as manager.
