Crystal Palace have reportedly opened talks with Thomas Frank about taking over as their new manager.
The former Tottenham and Brentford head coach has emerged as a leading candidate as Palace begin their search for a permanent replacement.
Sunday's 3-1 loss to Liverpool is believed to have been the final straw for the board, who confirmed on Thursday that Pierre Sage had been dismissed.
Palace have managed just two wins from their opening 10 league games and have shipped 24 goals the worst defensive record in the Premier League leaving them rooted to the bottom of the table.
Sage was brought in during June to succeed Oliver Glasner, who delivered the FA Cup, Community Shield and Conference League during his time in charge. But after just 16 games, with a win rate of only 31.25%, he failed to prove he was the right man to carry on that success.
According to the BBC, the Eagles have now turned their attention to Thomas Frank, who was dismissed by Spurs in February after less than eight months at the helm.
Spurs had also crashed out of both domestic cups and had won just two of their last 17 league games before Frank was sacked a record that may concern Palace supporters.
Crystal Palace Football Club can confirm that Pierre Sage has left his role as Manager. The club would like to place on record its thanks to Pierre and his staff for their efforts during their time in South London, and wish them well for the future. https://t.co/JcVHA6FIhe https://t.co/VAM8XnpHlq

Frank enjoyed huge success in his previous job at Brentford, spending seven years there between 2018 and 2025, leading the Bees into the Premier League and turning them into an established top-flight side.
According to Sky Sports, other names on Palace's shortlist include Frank Lampard, Sean Dyche, Vitor Pereira, Kim Hellberg, Vitor Matos and Tony Popovic.
