Crystal Palace has made their move. The Premier League club has officially announced the appointment of Pierre Sage as the new first-team manager, handing him a three-year contract. The former Lens manager takes over from Oliver Glasner, whose departure was confirmed following a difficult season.

This decision marks a turning point in the London club's sporting strategy, which is banking on Sage's experience to steady the ship. The French coach, who has been working in Ligue 1, arrives with the mission of injecting new life into a team in search of results. His arrival is part of a drive for stability after several managerial changes in recent years. The club has not disclosed the terms of his departure from Lens, but his arrival at Selhurst Park is now confirmed. Sage will need to quickly integrate into the squad and find his place in a dressing room that is still being rebuilt. A tough task awaits the new coach, but Crystal Palace is counting on his ability to bring a fresh energy.
