Crystal Palace confirmed on Thursday that manager Pierre Sage has officially left his role following an underwhelming five-month tenure. The decision was triggered by a disappointing start to the season that stranded the squad at the very bottom of the Premier League standings. The final blow came during Sunday's 3-1 home defeat against Liverpool, which marked the side's fourth consecutive loss in league play.
LONDON, Nov 12 : Crystal Palace sacked manager Pierre Sage on Thursday, bringing the Frenchman's five-month tenure to an end after a poor start to the Premier League season left the club marooned at the bottom of the table.
Sage's departure followed a 3-1 home loss to Liverpool on Sunday, the south London club's fourth straight Premier League defeat.
"Crystal Palace Football Club can confirm that Pierre Sage has left his role as manager," Palace said in a statement.

Following a heavy defeat in Dublin, Los Pumas have overhauled their squad with major injury-enforced adjustments ahead of their weekend fixture in Genoa.

The tactical adjustments aim to steady the side against the Azzurri after losing core leaders to physical setbacks.
