Crystal Palace head coach Pierre Sage could lose his job as early as November following the club's disappointing start to the 2026/27 season.
As reported by İdman.Biz, citing The Athletic, the London club's management is considering using the upcoming international break to part ways with the French specialist and appoint a replacement.
If the dismissal goes ahead, Sage would become the first Premier League manager to leave his position this season.
Several potential successors are reportedly being discussed, including Thomas Frank, who previously managed Brentford and Tottenham Hotspur, and Sean Dyche, the former head coach of Everton, Burnley and Nottingham Forest.
Other names linked with the position include former Forest manager Vitor Pereira and Australia national team head coach Tony Popovic. Crystal Palace are also said to be impressed by Frank Lampard's work at Coventry City.
Sage took charge of Crystal Palace on June 15, 2026, signing a three-year contract with the club.
Under his management, Palace have played 16 matches across all competitions, recording five wins, three draws and eight defeats.
The latest setback came on November 8, when Crystal Palace suffered a 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool in the 10th round of the Premier League.
Following that result, the Eagles dropped to the bottom of the league standings, further increasing the pressure on Sage.
The upcoming international break could therefore prove decisive for the French coach's future at Selhurst Park.
