Crystal Palace in Talks with Lens Manager Sage

Crystal Palace have opened negotiations with French manager Pierre Sage to replace Oliver Glasner. The south London club have turned to Sage after their preferred choice, Andoni Iraola, entered discussions with Liverpool about succeeding Arne Slot.

Sage impressed this season by leading Lens to second place in Ligue 1, just six points behind champions Paris Saint-Germain, and winning the Coupe de France. He inherited the Lens side when they finished eighth last June and transformed them into title contenders. mwafrika.life
