We kick off the show with a very special guest from Belgium - Ariël Jacobs! He's the former manager of RSC Anderlecht who is famously remembered as the man who gave a 16-year old Romelu Lukaku his first professional debut. Having a long and distinguished career in football management, Ariël also went on to win the Danish Superliga Title in 2012/13 with FC Copenhagen, adding to his two Belgian 1st Division Championship Titles with RSC Anderlecht. Having overseen high-profile encounters in the UEFA Champions League and UEFA Europa League as a manager, Mr. Jacobs certainly understands a thing or two about pressure. In this episode, he talks about THAT famous debut and the career path it forged for Lukaku, he gives us his words of wisdom for young coaches and parents who are working towards producing players and also discusses what Indian football can learn from his experiences in Belgium.
