Anderlecht have won 28 out of 33 points while being coached by Ariël Jacobs. Belgian Paper "De Gazet van Antwerpen" asked Belgian footbal monument Paul Van Himst why Anderlecht is playing so much better now.


"It's simple, Jacobs brought peace and quiet to the squad. He did that with a simple trick: giving the players more freedom."

"When Vercauteren was head coach, everything had to be done by the book. Ariël is more loose. If you have to deal with a lot of younger players, it's best to give them some freedom. That's cleaver thinking of Jacobs."
