Crystal Palace are reportedly drawing up contingency plans over Pierre Sage’s future, with former Tottenham striker Robbie Keane among the managers being considered if the club decide to make a change.
Sage arrived at Selhurst Park in the summer after guiding Lens to second place in Ligue 1, but his transition to English football has been difficult.
Palace are 17th in the Premier League after eight matches, with only two wins and five defeats, while defensive problems have become particularly concerning. According to talkSPORT, Palace are assessing several possible replacements as pressure increases on Sage.
