Crystal Palace sack Pierre Sage after poor Premier League start
Crystal Palace part ways with Pierre Sage after just two wins in 10 Premier League rounds, with Thomas Frank reportedly the leading candidate to replace him.
Pierre Sage's time in charge of Crystal Palace has come to an abrupt end. The London club have reportedly decided to dismiss the French coach after only 16 matches, making him the first Premier League manager to lose his job this season.
A dismal run sealed his fate
According to The Athletic, Palace's board acted after a deeply disappointing opening to the campaign. The Eagles managed just two victories across the first 10 rounds of the Premier League and now sit at the bottom of the table. With relegation fears growing, the club concluded that a change in the dugout could not wait.
Thomas Frank leads the race
Attention has quickly turned to who will take over at Selhurst Park, and Thomas Frank has emerged as the standout name. The Danish coach is viewed as the leading candidate for the role, although no agreement has been officially confirmed. Whoever arrives will face an urgent task: lifting Palace off the foot of the table and restoring confidence to a struggling squad.
