Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after a disastrous spell in charge, during which he won just two of his first ten Premier League matches across 16 games total. The 47-year-old French coach faced growing frustration from both players and club officials over his training methods, which reportedly involved late and intense sessions, as well as issues with an unpopular assistant manager. His reign has come to an end following the club's dissatisfaction with results and his overall approach at the training ground.
