Central Coast Mariners are pleased to welcome former New Zealand international player and youth coach Stuart Jacobs to the Club in the newly created position of Head of Youth Football. Jacobs, who led the New Zealand U23 National Team to the 2008 Beijing Olympics, and the Junior All Whites to the 2007 FIFA U20 World Cup in Canada, arrives at the Mariners having last mentored Young Heart Manawatu in New Zealand’s ASB Youth League. After a thorough recruitment process the Club has charged Jacobs – who as a player represented the All Whites an impressive 31 times and also turned out for Hibernian in the Scottish Premier League – with revitalising its youth program. Indeed, Jacobs – who has also served as a Hyundai A-League assistant coach (Wellington Phoenix – 2007/08) – will not only be responsible for the coaching and development of the Mariners’ Foxtel National Youth League team, but oversee the Club’s youth scouting network and ensure that the yellow and navy’s football philosophy, methods and culture are properly passed down through the Central Coast Mariners Academy.
