Golden parachute and a sensational comeback! Pierre Sage leaves Crystal Palace with a huge payout

French coach Pierre Sage has officially parted ways with London club Crystal Palace, securing a substantial compensation package worth 18 months’ salary.

Details: According to respected French insider Fabrice Hawkins, the Eagles’ hierarchy decided to dismiss the 47-year-old coach just 78 days after he began his Premier League stint. Despite a disastrous start to his time in London, the terms of his early contract termination fully protected the coach and guaranteed him a payout equivalent to 18 months’ wages.

However, the French tactician looks unlikely to be out of work for long. In the coming days, Sage could make a triumphant return to Lens, who recently sacked Yannick Cahuzac after a string of crushing defeats and are searching for a proven saviour to pull them out of a deep crisis.

It is worth noting that under Pierre Sage last season, Lens achieved one of the greatest triumphs in the club’s history, winning the Coupe de France and finishing second in Ligue 1, before the coach moved to England.
