Crystal Palace Target Lens Manager Pierre Sage

Crystal Palace have turned their attention to Frenchman Pierre Sage after he impressed at Lens this season. The Eagles are in discussions with the 45-year-old coach who transformed Lens from eighth-place finishers to title contenders, finishing just six points behind Paris Saint-German and winning the Coupe de France.

Sage is understood to be keen on the move, which would see him replace Oliver Glasner. Palace had initially favored Andoni Iraola, but the Bournemouth manager is now in discussions with Liverpool about succeeding Arne Slot. The club also considered Frank Lampard but was put off by the compensation fee required. amunra.help
