Crystal Palace have parted ways with manager Pierre Sage after just 16 matches in charge, following a poor run of results that left the club at the bottom of the Premier League table.\n<\/p>\n
The club announced his departure on Thursday, adding that three members of his coaching staff \u2014 Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard \u2014 had also left.\n<\/p>\n
In a statement posted on its website, Palace thanked Sage and his staff for their efforts during their time in the club.\n<\/p>\n
\u201cThe club would like to place on record its thanks to Pierre and his staff for their efforts during their time in South London, and wish them well for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cAn update on the process of appointing a new Manager will be provided in due course,\u201d the club said.<\/p>\n
Sage, who was appointed in June on a three-year contract to replace Oliver Glasner, managed only two wins and one draw in 10 Premier League matches.\n<\/p>\n
His final game was Sunday\u2019s 3-1 home defeat to Liverpool, which left Palace bottom of the table.<\/p>\n
The club had also suffered four consecutive league defeats and conceded 24 goals in 10 matches, the highest in the division at the time of his departure. <\/p>\n
According to The Guardian, the Frenchman had been under pressure since Palace\u2019s 5-0 defeat to Brighton last month, with the club\u2019s hierarchy concerned by the team\u2019s run of results.\n<\/p>\n
The 47-year-old previously managed Lyon and Lens before taking charge at Selhurst Park. He had led Lens to Champions League qualification before leaving the club for Palace.\n<\/p>\n
