Crystal Palace gives Pierre Sage two matches to save his job

Crystal Palace management has decided to stick with head coach Pierre Sage for now, despite a disappointing start to the season. According to The Guardian, the manager has been granted additional time, though his position remains highly precarious.

Concerns have been mounting following two consecutive Premier League defeats: a heavy 5-0 loss to Brighton and a 2-0 defeat against Newcastle. Currently sitting in 17th place, the London side has conceded 19 goals in eight matches, representing the worst defensive record in the division.

Crystal Palace faces Fulham in the League Cup in the coming days, followed by a Premier League clash against Tottenham on Saturday. The outcome of the match against Spurs is expected to be decisive for Sage's future. While the coach reportedly retains some support within the dressing room, the club is already assessing potential successors, with Thomas Frank, Sean Dyche, and Rob Edwards mentioned as candidates.
