Crystal Palace are reportedly set to dismiss manager Pierre Sage after a Sunday defeat against Liverpool left the club at the bottom of the Premier League. This marks the first time the South London side has occupied last place in the standings since December 2017.
The Frenchman, who was appointed in mid-June as the successor to Oliver Glasner, has come under increasing scrutiny following four straight losses. According to The Guardian, the club's hierarchy is now preparing to make a change in the dugout to address the recent slump in form.
Thomas Frank has emerged as the primary contender to replace Sage at Selhurst Park. Frank, described in reports as a former Tottenham Hotspur manager, is currently the main candidate being considered by the Palace board to lead the team.
