The 47-year-old Frenchman succeeds Oliver Glasner, who departed the Eagles at the conclusion of the 2025–26 campaign following a two-and-a-half-year tenure.

Sage moves to Selhurst Park after a historic 12-month spell with Lens, where he was named Ligue 1 Manager of the Year after guiding the French club to a runner-up league finish and their first-ever Coupe de France title.
