Crystal Palace have initiated preliminary discussions with Thomas Frank amid considerations for a managerial change after a poor start for Pierre Sage at Selhurst Park.
The French coach transitioned from Lens in the summer, replacing the successful Oliver Glasner, but the 47-year-old has struggled, with only two victories in the Premier League under his management. As a result, Frank's name is increasingly linked with a potential move to the club from SE25.
When could Crystal Palace sack Pierre Sage?
The final straw for many fans was the heavy 0-5 defeat to Brighton in mid-October. Despite Sage still retaining his position for now, he has managed just one victory in the following four matches.
The manager is currently on the brink of dismissal, with upcoming fixtures against Hoffenheim and Liverpool. While the Europa League match may not be decisive, a Premier League defeat could spell the end of his tenure at Selhurst Park. Changes could occur during the November international break, considering that behind-the-scenes talks with Frank are already underway. The potential arrival of the Danish coach also raises questions regarding the future of Sean Dyche.
