Crystal Palace have sacked manager Pierre Sage after just five months in charge, with the club bottom of the Premier League. The Frenchman lasted only 16 games, winning just two of his first 10 league matches, and leaves with Palace holding the worst defensive record in the division after conceding 24 goals.
Sunday's 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool was a fourth straight league loss and proved the final straw. Former Brentford and Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is in advanced talks to take over, with Palace's next Premier League match away at Coventry on November 21 after the international break.
