Crystal Palace part ways with Pierre Sage

Crystal Palace have sacked Pierre Sage. Sage was appointed in June on a three-year contract to replace Oliver Glasner. The club, which won only two of its 10 Premier League matches under Sage, is currently at the bottom of the table.

According to the club's statement, Sage's assistants Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard have also left the club. Palace lost 3-1 at home to Liverpool on Sunday in Sage's final match. The team has conceded 24 goals in the Premier League this season, the most of any side.

The club is in talks with Danish coach Thomas Frank about the vacancy. Frank has been without a job since leaving Tottenham in February. Palace had previously considered Frank Lampard, Sean Dyche, Vitor Pereira, Kim Hellberg, Vitor Matos and Tony Popovic. Sky Sports News also reported that Jens Berthel Askou and Ole Werner have been considered.

Under Glasner, the club won the FA Cup, the UEFA Conference League and the Community Shield. However, key players Maxence Lacroix and Daniel Munoz left the club over the summer. Palace were the Premier League club that spent the least during the summer transfer window. The club will share an update on the appointment of a new head coach when the time is right.
