Leeds United rivals Crystal Palace agree deal in principle after Glasner exit | OneFootball

Leeds United’s close 2025-26 Premier League rivals Crystal Palace have agreed a deal in principle to appoint Lens boss Pierre Sage as head coach following Oliver Glasner’s departure.

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.

Glasner, 51, led the Eagles to Europa Conference League glory in his second full season, yet announced in January that he would leave at the end of the campaign.

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

The South London club are preparing for a 14th consecutive season in the top flight.
