Thomas Frank the leading candidate to replace Pierre Sage at Crystal Palace

Danish coach Thomas Frank is the leading candidate to take over as manager of Crystal Palace, following the official departure of Frenchman Pierre Sage after a short stint in charge.

According to Sky Sports, Crystal Palace are advancing in their talks to sign Frank, who is at the top of the list of candidates to lead the team in the next phase.

Sagh's departure comes after the team's poor results in the Premier League, where Crystal Palace currently sits at the bottom after achieving only two victories in their first 10 league matches, prompting the management to make a swift coaching change.

Frank has previous experience in the Premier League, having worked as a coach for Brentford and Tottenham. Crystal Palace hopes to finalize the new manager's file in the upcoming period to save their season and stay away from the danger zones.
