Crystal Palace is reportedly considering a managerial change following a disappointing start to the season under Pierre Sage. Since taking over from Oliver Glasner in the summer, Sage has struggled to build on the previous success, with the team currently languishing in 14th place in the Premier League, managing only two wins thus far.

According to Football Insider, former Premier League scout Bryan King has indicated that the Eagles are looking into the possibility of appointing Kieran McKenna, the former manager of Ipswich Town, as Sage's replacement.

Kieran McKenna enjoyed a successful tenure at Ipswich, leading the club to back-to-back promotions from League One to the Premier League. Although his time in the top flight did not go as planned, he demonstrated his managerial capabilities by guiding Ipswich back up before stepping down to take a break from football.

The 40-year-old appears to be a strong candidate for the role at Crystal Palace, as he could potentially steer the team away from their current struggles. The situation for Sage looks increasingly precarious, with King suggesting that he is likely to be the first manager sacked this season. "The Crystal Palace manager is my favourite for the sack," King stated, noting that the club's chairman, Parish, has a favorable view of McKenna.
