Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage following a disappointing start to the 2026/27 Premier League season.
The club announced the Frenchman’s departure on Thursday, bringing his five-month spell at Selhurst Park to an end.
Sage was appointed in June to replace Oliver Glasner, who left Palace after guiding the club to the 2025/26 UEFA Conference League title.
However, the 47-year-old struggled to turn around the team’s fortunes, with Palace sitting at the bottom of the Premier League table after 10 matches.
The Eagles have managed just two victories in the league this season, collecting seven points and conceding 24 goals, the highest defensive tally in the division.
Their latest setback was a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, which extended their losing run in the league to four consecutive matches.
Palace also confirmed the departure of three members of Sage’s coaching staff: Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard.
In a statement, the club thanked Sage and his assistants for their contributions and wished them well in their future endeavours.
Meanwhile, former Tottenham Hotspur and Brentford manager Thomas Frank has emerged as a leading candidate to replace the Frenchman, according to British media reports.
Frank has been without a managerial job since leaving Tottenham in February.
Crystal Palace are expected to use the November international break to appoint a new manager ahead of their next Premier League fixture against Coventry City on November 21.
