==Club career==
===Red Star Belgrade===
On 28 June 2008, soon to be twenty-three-year-old Jakovic joined [[Red Star Belgrade]] ahead of the [[Serbian Superliga 2008–09|2008–09 season]], after successfully completing a tryout with the team.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mondo.rs/a103324/Sport/Fudbal/Zeman-prozvao-11-novajlija.html|title=Zeman prozvao 11 novajlija|access-date=30 January 2018}}</ref> He officially signed with the club on 30 June 2008.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://mondo.rs/a103505/Sport/Fudbal/Potpisao-ceo-tim-za-Zvezdu.html|title=Potpisao ceo tim za Zvezdu!|access-date=30 January 2018}}</ref>

Jakovic made three league starts at the beginning of the season under head coach [[Zdeněk Zeman]].

At the 2008-09 winter break, Red Star began looking at options to move Jakovic. In December 2008 it was reported he would be sent to [[FK Rad]] along with [[Marko Blažić]], another player who started under Zeman but had played sparsely since Janevski took over, as part of a deal to bring defender [[Nemanja Pejčinović]] to Red Star.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.b92.net/sport/fudbal/vesti.php?yyyy=2008&mm=12&dd=20&nav_id=335455|title=Nemanja Pejčinović u Zvezdi|date=20 December 2008 |access-date=30 January 2018}}</ref> However, by February 2009, no trade had been announced by the teams, and Jakovic was still on the list Red Star players that started preparations for second half of the season.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.b92.net/sport/fudbal/vesti.php?yyyy=2009&mm=01&dd=31&nav_id=342471|title=Šišić: "Odmalena u crveno-belom"|date=31 January 2009 |access-date=30 January 2018}}</ref>
