Still no Premier League managers sacked so far this season BUT that is now set to change.

A media exclusive revealing the news.

The Athletic reporting that their information is that Crystal Palace are now going to sack Pierre Sage.

We incredibly got past fireworks night with still none of the 20 Premier League managers getting fired, by this point last season a quartet of Premier League managers had lost their jobs by 6 November 2025 – Nuno, Graham Potter, Ange Postecoglou and Vitor Pereira. Eleven in total lost their jobs during the 2025-26 season.

International breaks are always a popular time for sacking Premier League managers with a bit of time to appoint a replacement before the league games resume.

We have now just gone past the 11 weeks of the season mark and The Athletic now state: ‘Crystal Palace are set to sack manager Pierre Sage after 16 games in charge. Palace suffered a 3-1 defeat by Liverpool at Selhurst Park on Sunday, leaving the south London side bottom of the Premier League table for the first time after a complete round of games since December 2017. Sage was appointed in June as Oliver Glasner’s replacement but has overseen just two wins in 10 Premier League games this season; Palace have the league’s worst defensive record, with 24 goals conceded so far.’

Crystal Palace have lost all of their last four Premier League games and conceded 12 goals in these matches, losing to Bright, Newcastle United, Spurs and Liverpool. Only scoring once themselves and that was a penalty yesterday in the 95th minute when already 3-0 down to Liverpool.

As for a replacement, The Athletic report: ‘Palace will look to appoint Sage’s successor during the upcoming two-week international break, with names under consideration including Thomas Frank and Sean Dyche, who left their respective former clubs Tottenham Hotspur and Nottingham Forest in February. Vitor Pereira, who left Forest this summer, and Tony Popovic — the former centre-back who spent five seasons of his playing career at Palace and is currently in charge of Australia’s national team — are also potential successors. There is also admiration for Coventry City’s Frank Lampard.’

In total, eleven Premier League managers were sacked during last (2025-26) season (with their replacements in brackets):

9 September 2025 – Nuno leaves Forest (Ange Postecoglou)
27 September 2025 – Graham Potter leaves West Ham (Nuno)
18 October 2025 – Ange Postecoglou leaves Forest (Sean Dyche)
2 November 2025 – Vitor Pereira leaves Wolves (Rob Edwards)
1 January 2026 – Enzo Maresca leaves Chelsea (Liam Rosenior)
5 January 2026 – Ruben Amorim leaves Man U (Michael Carrick)
11 February 2026 – Thomas Frank leaves Spurs (Igor Tudor)
12 February 2026 – Sean Dyche leaves Forest (Vitor Pereira)
29 March 2026 – Igor Tudor leaves Spurs (Roberto de Zerbi)
22 April 2026 – Liam Rosenior leaves Chelsea (Caretaker boss for rest of season)
30 April 2026 – Scott Parker leaves Burnley (Caretaker boss for rest of season)

Premier League table on Monday 9 November 2026 

A defeat this weekend for any of the Premier League managers most at risk was sure to put them at risk see them reach the tipping point.

Forest beat Man City, Sunderland won at home against Chelsea to lift them up to second bottom, that would have been third bottom but Michael Carrick fluked a point from a bizarre 4-4 draw with Villa.

So Pierre Sage and Crystal Palace the only ones towards the bottom to lose this weekend and that seemingly sealing the Palace manager’s fate.
