The Story in 60 Seconds

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage is facing potential dismissal following a 2-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur, which marked the club's third consecutive league loss. A 15th-minute red card for Jean-Philippe Mateta preceded goals from Spurs' Archie Gray and Jan Paul van Hecke, leaving Palace in the Premier League's bottom three. With reports suggesting Sage was under pressure prior to kickoff, the club is considered likely to make an early managerial change.

Tom Victor lists Gareth Southgate, Rob Edwards, Eddie Howe, Thomas Frank, and former Palace manager Oliver Glasner as potential candidates to replace Sage. Southgate previously played for Palace, while Edwards has links with sporting director Matt Hobbs. Howe, Frank, and Glasner are also proposed as options if Palace decides to look for proven Premier League experience.
