Crystal Palace dismissed manager Pierre Sage on Thursday following a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, leaving the club at the bottom of the Premier League. Sage, hired on a three‑year contract in June, oversaw 16 matches in which the team won two, earned seven points and conceded 24 goals, the highest tally in the division. The club is two points shy of safety as the international break approaches. Talks are under way to appoint former Tottenham and Brentford boss Thomas Frank as his successor, while three members of Sage’s coaching staff have also left.
