Crystal Palace in Talks with Lens Boss Pierre Sage

Crystal Palace are negotiating with Pierre Sage to take over as head coach. Sage, who led Lens to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and won the Coupe de France this season, is keen on the move, and a deal is expected to be reached.

Sage became the top target after Andoni Iraola, the preferred choice to replace Oliver Glasner, entered discussions with Liverpool. Palace were also previously put off by the compensation fee required for Frank Lampard. zeppelin.cool
