Crystal Palace manager Pierre Sage has admitted he feels “shame” over his team’s performance in their 5-0 defeat by Brighton, while acknowledging uncertainty over whether he will remain in charge.
Palace were heavily beaten by their local rivals, with the result leaving Sage facing questions about his position. The manager said he did not know whether he would be given the opportunity to try to save his job.
Sage’s comments followed a performance he described in deeply negative terms. His admission reflects the pressure surrounding him after Palace conceded five goals in the match.
The latest situation is therefore unclear, with Sage’s future at Crystal Palace yet to be confirmed. No decision on his position was provided in the available material.
