Palace dismissed Sage with the club bottom of the Premier League and said it would update its search for a new manager in due course.
Crystal Palace has dismissed manager Pierre Sage after 16 games in charge, with the club bottom of the Premier League.
Sage had replaced Oliver Glasner in mid-June. Palace lost 3-1 to Liverpool on Sunday before his departure.
The club said coaching staff members Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard had also left. Palace thanked Sage and his staff for their efforts.
BBC Football says Thomas Frank is in advanced talks to take over. Palace said it would provide an update on the process of appointing a new manager in due course.
The club said a poor start to the season convinced it that changes were needed to meet its objectives, and it plans to appoint a permanent successor as soon as possible.
