Crystal Palace Football Club has announced the appointment of Pierre Sage as their new manager, following the departure of Oliver Glasner. Sage, a 47-year-old Frenchman, has signed a three-year contract with the Premier League club. He joins Crystal Palace from French side Lens, where he led the team to a second-place finish in Ligue 1 and won the French Cup. Sage's impressive performance at Lens earned him the Ligue 1 Manager of the Year award. 'It's amazing to be here at Crystal Palace. I am excited by the history of the club, and by recent seasons,' Sage said. 'Oliver Glasner achieved some amazing things, and now I have to do the same. That's why we come here with a lot of ambition.' Crystal Palace's recent success includes winning the UEFA Conference League and the FA Cup. The club's chairman, Steve Parish, expressed his excitement about Sage's appointment, saying, 'I am tremendously excited to welcome Pierre, who joins us off the back of a trophy-winning season at Lens as well as a fabulous second-place finish in Ligue 1.' Parish hopes that Sage will continue the development put in place by Glasner and lead the team to more success in the future.
