Palace consider replacing Sage with Frank among contenders

Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage is facing dismissal just five months into his tenure, with internal club talks underway to decide his future. Palace sit bottom of the Premier League after suffering a fourth consecutive league defeat in a 3-1 loss to Liverpool. Former Brentford and Tottenham manager Thomas Frank and former Nottingham Forest boss Sean Dyche are reportedly among the contenders to replace him.

Palace have earned seven points from 10 matches while conceding a league-high 24 goals, alongside winning just once in four Europa League fixtures. Sage, who took charge on a three-year deal in June following Oliver Glasner's departure, has faced challenges including injuries and the absences of Jean-Philippe Mateta and Ismaila Sarr.
