Pierre Sage's Reign at Crystal Palace Is Coming to an End

Crystal Palace, who have made a poor start to the Premier League season and sit at the bottom of the table, are about to end Pierre Sage's reign. The French head coach, who took over from Oliver Glasner at the start of this season, has been in charge for 16 matches. According to The Athletic's report, Sage is expected to be dismissed after the defeat to Liverpool.

After the loss to Brighton, it was reported that Sage was to remain in charge for the Europa League match against Beşiktaş (October 22) and the league match against Newcastle United. However, weaknesses in defence and the similarity of the goals conceded raised concerns about the head coach. During this period, the team drew with Hoffenheim and then lost to Liverpool.

Among the names Crystal Palace are considering to replace Sage, Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche are at the top. Vitor Pereira and Tony Popovic are also on the list of candidates. Frank Lampard, who is in charge of Coventry City, is another name the club likes.

The English press has highlighted Thomas Frank as a leading candidate. Among the candidates on the list, Vitor Pereira said in an interview last week that he could work in the Premier League again, but that he wants to take charge of a team that can compete for the title.
