ANDm communiqué published on its official website, the London training confirmed the immediate departure of the technician and three elements of his technical team (Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard), thanking the efforts made and informing that the succession process will be communicated in due course.
Sage's resignation comes after Manchester United also dismissed Michael Carrick, becoming the first two coaches to lose their job in this edition of the English Championship.
With only two wins in 10 days and seven points added to the qualifying table, the departure of the Gaul coach took place after the home defeat by 3-1 against Liverpool last Sunday, which marked the fourth consecutive exit of the team in the championship.
According to the British press, Brentford and Tottenham's former coach, Thomas Frank, is one of the top favorites to take over technical command in Selhurst Park.
Pierre Sage had arrived in South London last summer from the French Lens, facing the demanding task of succeeding Oliver Glasner, a coach who joined the club's history by winning the Cup of England, the Super Cup and the League Conference in just two years.
