Loan to Mansfield Town

"He’s got a very good presence about him, left-footed, which will give us balance and he’s very aggressive – he’s an old-school centre half who can also play." Mansfield Town manager Adam Murray on Iacovitti[4]

On 31 August 2016 Iacovitti joined Mansfield Town on loan for the 2016–17 season.[5] Stags manager Adam Murray revealed that there had been a lot of interest from other clubs in Iacovitti, and described the player as an "old-school centre-half".[6] On 12 November, Iacovitti was shown a red card in the 74th minute away at Portsmouth. A goal down at the time, Mansfield Town went on to lose the game 4-0 having also had Kyle Howkins dismissed.[7]
