New favourite emerges for Crystal Palace job amid Pierre Sage sack threat

Sage faces sack threat after two wins in seven PL games; Sean Dyche emerges as betting favourite to replace him.

Crystal Palace's poor start to the Premier League season has intensified speculation about Pierre Sage's future. The Eagles sit 17th after seven games with just two wins, while their Europa League campaign has yielded one win, one draw and one loss in three matches.

Sage is now the second favourite in the next Premier League manager to be sacked market, behind Manchester United's Michael Carrick. Betting markets have already begun pricing potential replacements. Sean Dyche, who left Nottingham Forest in February 2026, is the clear favourite at 1/2 odds. Thomas Frank, sacked by Tottenham after two wins in 17 PL games this season, is second favourite at 3/1. Other candidates include Robbie Keane at 10/1, with Kieran McKenna, Eddie Howe and Rob Edwards all priced at 12/1.
