  • Crystal Palace dismissed Pierre Sage following a defeat against Liverpool.
  • The manager's departure from Selhurst Park remains unconfirmed.
  • A return to Lens may allow Palace to avoid significant compensation payments.

Crystal Palace may avoid paying substantial compensation if Pierre Sage is re-appointed by his former club, Lens. The decision to dismiss Sage was reached on Sunday evening following Palace's 3-1 loss to Liverpool.

Although the decision has been made, the manager's exit from the Premier League side has not yet been formally confirmed. Lens is currently seeking a new manager after the dismissal of Yannick Cahuzac, who lasted only nine matches during his first stint as a head coach.
