Palace consider replacing Sage, with Frank among contenders
Crystal Palace are considering dismissing manager Pierre Sage after a 3-1 home defeat by Liverpool left the club bottom of the Premier League. It was their fourth consecutive league loss, increasing pressure on Sage just five months into his three-year contract.
Palace have taken seven points from 10 league matches and conceded 24 goals, the most in the division; they have also won once in four Europa League games. Former Tottenham and Brentford manager Thomas Frank is seen as a strong successor candidate, with ex-Nottingham Forest manager Sean Dyche also backed by some at the club. Palace next play Coventry on 21 November.
In short
- Palace are weighing Sage’s future after four straight league defeats.
- The club have seven points from 10 matches and have conceded 24 goals.
- Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche are among possible successors.
