Vitor Pereira linked with Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace's head coach Pierre Sage's future is being discussed after the club drew 2-2 with Beşiktaş in the Europa League. The English side, who have collected 7 points in 8 Premier League games and dropped to 17th place, are reportedly moving to change their coach.

Vitor Pereira, who previously managed Fenerbahçe for two spells, is said to be at the top of the club's list of candidates. Sean Dyche and Thomas Frank are also reportedly among the alternatives.

The Portuguese coach left Nottingham Forest on 30 June and has not taken charge of a team since then. His representatives are reported to have been in contact with the Crystal Palace management.

Pereira's record in England stands out. He averaged 1.24 points per game over 38 matches with Wolverhampton and 1.50 points per game over 20 matches with Nottingham Forest. If the two sides reach an agreement, the experienced coach would return to the Premier League.
