Crystal Palace sack Pierre Sage after two wins in 10 games

Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after just 10 Premier League matches, with the club anchored to the bottom of the table. The 47-year-old Frenchman, appointed in summer on a three-year deal to replace Oliver Glasner, managed only two victories. His entire backroom staff — Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa, and Sandy Guichard — also left. The decision was announced via the club website Thursday following a defeat to Liverpool.

Palace sit 20th after 10 games, their worst start in recent memory. The swift dismissal signals impatience from ownership after a summer rebuild. For the many Nigerian fans tracking the EPL, this marks another managerial casualty in a league where African players are central to multiple squads.

The club now launches its second managerial search in months. Interim arrangements for upcoming fixtures remain unclear. Potential replacements will be judged on their ability to fix a defense that has shipped goals freely. If you follow Palace for fantasy football or betting, expect tactical volatility and possible short-term instability.

Will Palace's next appointment prioritize proven survival experience or a long-term project with a younger coach?
