Crystal Palace Consider Manager Pierre Sage's Future After Poor Start
· Sports · BBC Sport, Bloomberg
Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage faces the risk of dismissal after five months in charge as the club sits at the bottom of the Premier League table. Sunday's 3-1 defeat by Liverpool marked the team's fourth consecutive league loss, leaving them with just seven points from 10 matches this season. Club officials have held internal discussions regarding Sage's future and potential successors, with former Tottenham and Brentford manager Thomas Frank and ex-Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche emerging as leading candidates. Palace have conceded 24 goals, giving them the worst defensive record in the league, alongside a 21st-place standing in the Europa League. Sage was appointed in June on a three-year contract following Oliver Glasner's departure.
Why it matters
