On 29 January 2022, Jakoliš signed a 3.5-year contract with French club Angers.^[2] On 20 January 2023, he was loaned out to Cypriot First Division club AEK Larnaca until the end of the season.^[3]

His brother Antonio is also a footballer.^[4]^[5] He wears the jersey number 44 as a nod to Dražen Petrović, a legendary Croatian basketball player who was coached by Jakoliš's father.^[6]

Jakoliš' father is an Australian citizen, who had lived in Melbourne for 15 years. This allowed Jakoliš to claim an Australian passport; as a result, he is eligible to play for Australia.^[7]
