Lars Christian Jacobsen (born 20 September 1979) is a retired Danish professional footballer who played as a right back.

Prior to joining Odense Boldklub, he attended Sanderum School and once played as a striker before switching position to a defender.

[2] His talent was quickly discovered, as he played 58 matches for various youth national teams, and won the 1997 Danish under-19 Player of the Year award.

Jacobsen got his big break-through the following season, when he played 15 first team matches, even though the club was relegated to the 1st Division.

After the cup triumph, Jacobsen moved abroad to play for German club Hamburg on pre-contract, effectively starting from the 2002–03 season.

[11] At FC Copenhagen, he was assigned the number two shirt and he quickly became a part of the starting line-up, playing in different defensive positions.

He established himself at right full back, and in FCK's 2005–06 season, he played full-time as the club won the Superliga championship; 2,970 minutes in 33 matches.

He made his national team debut on 1 March 2006, and played all 90 minutes of the friendly match against Israel, a 2–0 win.

[26] On 26 August 2008, Jacobsen signed a one-year contract with English Premier League club Everton on a free transfer and was assigned squad number 15.

He went on to play in the 2009 FA Cup Final, coming on as a substitute at half time for Tony Hibbert where he helped to nullify the threat posed by Florent Malouda down the left wing.

"[33] Despite making only 13 appearances, Everton were keen to keep Jacobsen, which convinced David Moyes, stating that he deserved a new contract.

Following his release by West Ham, Jacobsen was linked with several clubs around Europe despite him being keen to move back to the Danish Superligaen.

[51] He provided an assist for César Santin to score the only goal in a 1–0 against Lille in Copenhagen's 1–0 home victory for the play-off round of the Champions League.

[53] Later in the 2012–13 season, he provided seven assists in 40 appearances in all competitions and went on to play an important role when he led the club to win the Danish Superliga for the tenth time.

[56] However, as the season progressed, he soon lost his first team place to youngster Christoffer Remmer and was demoted to the substitute bench.

[59][60] Jacobsen joined Ligue 1 side Guingamp on a two-year contract, which included an extension option.

[61] He made his debut for the club, where he started as a right-back, as Guingamp lost 2–0 to Paris Saint-Germain, in the Trophée des Champions.

His second season at Guingamp saw him make thirty-two appearances despite being absent from the squad three times due to injuries.

[76] On 5 of September 2023 DBU announced Jacobsen will be new assistant coach for Denmark national under-18 football team.
