Crystal Palace have appointed Pierre Sage as their new head coach on a three-year contract. The 47-year-old Frenchman succeeds Oliver Glasner, who chose not to renew his deal at the end of the season.
Sage arrives at Selhurst Park after a strong season with Lens in France. He guided the club to second place in Ligue 1 and secured the Coupe de France title for the first time in its history.
In his first comments as Crystal Palace manager, Sage said the appointment was exciting. He praised Glasner's achievements and expressed a desire to bring success and smiles to the fans.
Chairman Steve Parish welcomed the move. He highlighted Sage's recent trophy win and second-place league finish as reasons for optimism ahead of another European campaign.
