Dyche alternative: Crystal Palace now in talks to appoint manager with 195 career wins

Crystal Palace has opened talks to appoint former Brentford manager Thomas Frank as an alternative to Sean Dyche, according to reports. Current manager Pierre Sage faces mounting pressure after conceding 19 goals in eight matches and leaving Palace just one point above the relegation zone. While the board reportedly plans to keep Sage for now, defeats against Fulham and Tottenham Hotspur could lead chairman Steve Parish to make an immediate change.

Frank, who holds 195 career managerial wins, is reportedly keen on taking over at Selhurst Park. The Danish manager previously kept Brentford in the Premier League for four straight seasons, and the club hierarchy views his high-intensity tactical approach as a strong alternative alongside candidates such as Dyche, Scott Parker, Kieran McKenna, and Rob Edwards.
