Crystal Palace in Talks with Lens Manager Pierre Sage

Crystal Palace has entered talks with French manager Pierre Sage with a view to appointing him as their new head coach. The decision comes after Andoni Iraola, initially the preferred choice to replace Oliver Glasner, began discussions with Liverpool about succeeding Arne Slot.

Sage, who led Lens to second place in Ligue 1 this season, inherited a mid-table side and transformed them into title contenders, finishing just six points behind champions PSG. He also guided Lens to Coupe de France glory. The French manager, who was sacked by Lyon in January 2025 after a year in charge, is understood to be keen on joining Palace. amunra-opinie.pl
