Crystal Palace sack Pierre Sage after 16 matches
By the AFREEQUE newsroom, based on Nile Post and Seneweb
Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after five months, with the club bottom of the Premier League. The decision comes after a start to the season marked by two wins, one draw and seven defeats in ten games, as well as 24 goals conceded, according to Seneweb.
Pierre Sage was dismissed after ten rounds of the Premier League, with Crystal Palace bottom of the table and with only two wins, one draw and seven defeats. The London club scored ten goals and conceded 24, reports Seneweb.
In the Europa League, Crystal Palace have five points after four rounds and are 21st. The club did, however, qualify for the League Cup quarter-finals, but that performance was not enough to keep Pierre Sage in his post.
Thomas Frank is among the leading candidates to succeed him. The former Tottenham manager has been without a club since leaving the London club last February.
Pierre Sage, now without a club, has also been mentioned for a return to RC Lens. According to journalist Fabrizio Romano, the French manager would nevertheless like to take a step back after his experience in England and is not in a hurry to return to the dugout.
