Sage, linked to Crystal Palace, leaves French club RC Lens


Pierre Sage is set to resign as Lens coach, a source close to the Ligue 1 club told AFP on Wednesday, amid reports he would take charge at Crystal Palace.

Sage led Lens to a second-place finish behind Paris Saint-Germain this season and the first French Cup win in its 120-year history.

The 47-year-old spent just one season at Lens, with his only other top-level coaching spell coming at Lyon.

According to French media, he could move to the Premier League to replace Oliver Glasner at Palace.

Austrian Glasner had announced earlier this season that he would leave at the end of the season and signed off with a win in the UEFA Conference League final against Freiburg.
