Dino Toppmoller to be named Pierre Sage’s replacement at RC Lens | OneFootball

Pierre Sage’s move to Crystal Palace has yet to be confirmed, however, RC Lens already look to have found their replacement in the form of Dino Toppmoller. 

Sage led Lens to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and to the Coupe de France title, however, having won the latter back at the end of May, he sowed seeds of doubt regarding his future. Crystal Palace, in the market for a new manager following the exit of Oliver Glasner, swooped in. The Frenchman’s move to Selhurst Park is expected to be officialised soon.

But on Monday, Lens are expected to have a new man in the dugout, as per a report from L’Équipe. Toppmoller, formerly of Eintracht Frankfurt, is set to be named the new manager of Les Sang et Or on a two-year deal. 

Toppmoller’s last job came at Eintracht Frankfurt. Having joined the Bundesliga side back in 2023, he left back in January.
