Crystal Palace is actively seeking a new manager following the departure of Oliver Glasner, with reports indicating a potential move for a prominent French coach.
According to BeFootball, and citing renowned journalist Fabrice Hawkins, the club is currently in discussions with Pierre Sage, the 47-year-old head coach of Lens. Sage has expressed his willingness to leave Lens, where he recently led the team to a remarkable season, culminating in a second-place finish in Ligue 1, a spot in the Champions League, and a domestic cup victory.
Negotiations between Crystal Palace and Sage are reportedly underway, though the coach’s contract with Lens extends until 2028, which would necessitate compensation to the French club.
