Crystal Palace consider sacking Pierre Sage for Thomas Frank

Managerial future in doubt

The club held internal talks to decide Sage's future following Sunday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool. This match marked their fourth successive league failure and left them bottom of the Premier League table. Palace have won only two of ten league matches this season while conceding twenty-four goals. The Frenchman faces dismissal if results do not improve before the international break.

Thomas Frank leads search

Former Tottenham and Brentford boss Thomas Frank is viewed as a strong candidate for the vacancy. He lacks employment now but can begin right away. Other names under consideration include Sean Dyche, Frank Lampard, Vitor Pereira and Tony Popovic. Frank previously led Brentford to a ninth-place finish before moving to Tottenham last season.

Sage defends his position

Pierre Sage stated he is not feeling this crisis but must push harder on their playing style. He admitted shame after Brighton defeated them 5-0 and noted injuries hampered his plans. Key players Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr were absent due to fitness or personal issues. The next Premier League match is scheduled at Coventry on 21 November.
