Crystal Palace ‘set to sign’ Pierre Sage on 2029 deal after Glasner exit | OneFootball

Crystal Palace, close 2025-26 Premier League rivals of Leeds United, have agreed a deal in principle for Lens boss Pierre Sage to become their new head coach following Oliver Glasner’s exit.

According to Sky Sports, the 47-year-old Frenchman is set to sign a contract until the summer of 2029, with an option of a further year.

Austrian manager Glasner led Palace to Europa Conference League glory in his second full season, having announced in January that he would leave at the end of the campaign.

Despite their European success, Palace finished 15th in the Premier League, two points and one place behind newly promoted Leeds.

The move comes as Palace prepare for their 14th consecutive season in the top flight.
