Crystal Palace have announced the sacking of manager Pierre Sage following a brief spell of 16 matches at the helm. The decision comes after the club's 3-1 defeat to Liverpool on Sunday, a result that left Crystal Palace at the very bottom of the Premier League table.
Sage had been appointed in mid-June, stepping into the role vacated by Oliver Glasner. Under his leadership, the team struggled defensively, conceding a league-high 24 goals. Reports suggest that Thomas Frank, who is currently without a club, is the leading candidate to become the next manager, according to The Guardian.
