Pierre Sage, Crystal Palace, Andoni Iraola, Oliver Glasner
1 June 2026
Crystal Palace are expected to hold talks with Lens boss Pierre Sage as they search for Oliver Glasner’s replacement. Their pursuit shifted after Andoni Iraola moved closer to the Liverpool job following Arne Slot’s dismissal.
Sage led Lens to second in Ligue 1 and a Coupe de France win, making him one of Palace’s stronger options. Frank Lampard, Kieran McKenna, Dino Toppmoller, Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche are also being assessed.
