Source context
Crystal Palace may reportedly be looking into changing manager already after the poor start made by Pierre Sage this season. Sage took over from Oliver Glasner in the summer in what was always likely to be a challenging role to build on the success of his predecessor. Still, the French tactician already looks to be under serious pressure, with Palace sitting in 14th place in the Premier League table with only two wins so far. According to Football Insider, who spoke to former Premier League scout Bryan King, this has now led the Eagles to look at former Ipswich Town manager Kieran McKenna as a candidate to take over.
