In 2019, he was hired as manager of Stabæk Fotball Kvinner. Vanja Stefanovic had been sacked due to the club's poor standing in the 2019 Toppserien, and Jacobsen could not avoid relegation. [5] However, he led the club to instant re-promotion and eventually finished runner-up in the 2022 Norwegian Women's Cup and fourth in the 2022 Toppserien.
