Crystal Palace sacks Pierre Sage, eyes Thomas Frank as replacement
Crystal Palace terminated Pierre Sage's contract after 16 league matches, with the club sitting at the bottom of the Premier League, and announced that it is negotiating with former Brentford manager Thomas Frank to become the next head coach. The announcement was made in London. Sky Sports reported that the club had been evaluating a shortlist of managerial candidates, including former Brentford boss Thomas Frank.
The Guardian later suggested that, after four straight league defeats, Sage was likely to be dismissed and that Frank was the leading candidate. ESPN Singapore confirmed that Sage was dismissed after five months in charge, with the team winless and occupying last place.
