Crystal Palace have appointed Pierre Sage as head coach on a three-year deal, replacing Oliver Glasner after his trophy-laden reign.
The 47-year-old arrives from Lens, where he won Ligue 1’s Manager of the Year, secured a historic Coupe de France, and finished second in the league. He previously guided Lyon to Europa League qualification.
