Lens: is returning to his ex a good idea for Sage, sacked by Crystal Palace?
Summarised by MatchPal
Sage negotiating return to Lens after Crystal Palace sacked him; the Ligue 1 club has cycled through two managers in three months.
Pierre Sage's departure from Crystal Palace was confirmed on Thursday after the club decided to move in a different direction. The French manager is now in talks to return to RC Lens, where he enjoyed a successful spell that culminated in a second-place finish and the Coupe de France title.
Lens has struggled this season, already replacing two managers—Dino Toppmöller and Yannick Cahuzac—in just three months. Sage, the former Olympique Lyonnais coach, would be tasked with reversing the club's poor form.
