Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage granted more time after heavy Brighton loss
Crystal Palace chairman Steve Parish has given manager Pierre Sage additional time to improve the team following a 5-0 defeat to Brighton on Sunday.
Club warns manager of scrutiny
The club chair warned that defensive issues must be fixed quickly. Sage remains in charge for the upcoming Europa League match against Besiktas and the Premier League game versus Newcastle. His position is under heavy scrutiny after conceding 17 goals in seven games.
Future replacements being considered
Chairman Steve Parish has approached Kieran McKenna and Thomas Frank as potential successors if Sage leaves. The club failed to secure its main defensive targets during the summer transfer window. Two loan players were signed from Chelsea and Atalanta instead.
