Manager Presentation
Our character for this project will be Southafrican native Levian Jacobs.
Born in Bloemfontein in 1999, Levian grew up having all the stupid dreams a kid has. Like becoming a football professional and playing for the national team one day as he has seen 2010 at the world cup in his homeland or leaving his country to visit all these other countries. But sadly he was never picked by scouts for first-class youth teams (Sunday League Player).
So when he graduated from school, he had to realize that a professional football career will not be achievable for him. It took a while till he changed his perspective: may he won’t be able to be a professional player, but why shouldn’t he be a good coach? Luckily he found a course, called “Sports Coaching and Exercise” (FdSc) at Teesside University in Darlington (England). This was the perfect opportunity! Levian could travel and move to another country. And on the other hand, he could learn the theoretical part of being a good coach at university. In addition, he was able to use his knowledge while coaching some youth teams at Darlington Football Club. Since then things played out well. Levian finished the undergraduate course and gained a national C licence. And also the club was happy with the success he achieved with the youth teams.
After being ranked 13th in the season 21/22 head coach Alun Armstrong was sacked by the board. Surprisingly Levian Jacobs was offered the job. Although it is a great honor for him, would he be able to be as successful as with the youth teams?
