Crystal Palace faces relegation under Sage. Consider Kieran McKenna as a potential new manager to turn the season around.

Matt Smith argues that Crystal Palace should part ways with manager Pierre Sage and replace him with Kieran McKenna. The opinion piece comes amid a difficult spell for Palace, who sit in the Premier League relegation zone following three consecutive league defeats, despite a recent late equalizer by Daichi Kamada against Hoffenheim in European competition.
Smith suggests that the upcoming two-week international break presents an ideal window for Palace to make a managerial change. The writer contends that McKenna's past experience promoting Ipswich Town and coaching at Manchester United makes him a well-suited, modern candidate currently available to reverse the club's fortunes.
