Crystal Palace Dismisses Manager Pierre Sage After Five Months
Crystal Palace has officially parted ways with manager Pierre Sage following a poor start to the Premier League season that left the club at the bottom of the table.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, Crystal Palace has officially terminated the contract of manager Pierre Sage after only five months in charge. Sage, who replaced Oliver Glasner during the summer, oversaw 16 matches across all competitions before his departure on November 12, 2026. The decision follows a disappointing run in the Premier League, where the team currently sits in 20th place with only seven points from their first ten matches. The club has struggled significantly on the defensive end, conceding 24 goals, which is the worst record in the league. Additionally, the team's performance in the Europa League has been underwhelming, with Palace currently ranked 21st out of 36 teams after securing only one victory in four matches. For residents and football fans in Thailand following the Premier League, this managerial change marks a significant shift for the London-based club as they look to improve their standing. It remains to be confirmed who will be appointed as the permanent successor to lead the team for the remainder of the season. The club expressed gratitude to Sage for his efforts during his brief tenure.
