Crystal Palace dismiss manager Pierre Sage after five months in charge

Crystal Palace have parted ways with manager Pierre Sage after just five months and 16 games in charge across all competitions. The decision comes in the wake of a 3-1 defeat by Liverpool, which extended the team's losing streak in the Premier League to four matches and left them at the bottom of the standings. Sage's departure also follows the exit of three members of his coaching staff. Former Brentford and Tottenham manager Thomas Frank is currently in advanced talks to take over the managerial position at Selhurst Park.
