Quick Summary

Crystal Palace has sacked manager Pierre Sage after he spent only five months in charge and oversaw the team falling to the bottom of the Premier League. The decision follows a 3-1 loss to Liverpool, marking the club's fourth consecutive defeat and a record of just two wins in their first 10 league matches. The club currently sits 21st in the 36-team Europa League table with one win from four matches, while former Brentford and Tottenham boss Thomas Frank is in advanced talks to become the new manager.
