Crystal Palace has officially confirmed the appointment of Pierre Sage as the club's new head coach. The Frenchman has signed a three-year contract, taking over from Oliver Glasner.
Sage brings a notable track record, having previously managed Lens. During his tenure, he guided the club to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and won the Coupe de France, demonstrating his ability to achieve domestic success.
Crystal Palace's management is committed to supporting Sage in the transfer market this summer. The club aims to strengthen the squad in preparation for their upcoming Europa League campaign and intends to hold on to their key players.
Sage emerged as Palace’s preferred candidate after the club reportedly missed out on Andoni Iraola. A key factor in the 47-year-old's appointment was his preference for a 3-4-2-1 playing system.
According to Guardian Football, Sage expressed ambition upon joining, stating, "We come here with a lot of ambition."
