Palace in Talks with Lens' Sage

Crystal Palace are in talks with Lens manager Pierre Sage with a view to making him their head coach after he led Lens to second in Ligue 1 this season. Andoni Iraola was the preferred option to replace Oliver Glasner but the former Bournemouth manager is in discussions with Liverpool over succeeding Arne Slot. Sage inherited a Lens side last June who had finished eighth and made them title contenders, finishing six points adrift of Paris Saint-German, and won the Coupe de France. chickenroadslot.pro
