Crystal Palace could avoid significant compensation if Pierre Sage rejoins Lens

Crystal Palace decided to sack manager Pierre Sage on Sunday evening following a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool, their fourth consecutive Premier League loss that left them bottom of the table for the first time since 2017. Sage's departure from Selhurst Park has not yet been officially confirmed. If Sage is re-appointed by his former club Lens in France, Crystal Palace could avoid paying him significant compensation.
