Premier League side Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after just 16 games in charge following a disastrous start to the season.
The club confirmed the Frenchman’s departure on Thursday, November 12, following a disappointing run of results that left the Eagles at the bottom of the Premier \
Palace are also 21st in the 36-team Europa League table, with one win from their four matches.
Palace said in a statement confirming his departure: “Crystal Palace Football Club can confirm that Pierre Sage has left his role as Manager.
“The club would like to place on record its thanks to Pierre and his staff for their efforts during their time in South London, and wish them well for the future.”
Three members of his coaching staff, Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard, have also left the club.
Meanwhile, former Brentford and Tottenham manager Thomas Frank has emerged as the leading candidate to replace Sage.
