Five months ago, Pierre Sage was one of Europe's most sought-after managers, having guided Lens to a Coupe de France and Champions League qualification.
Now, he's fighting for his job at Crystal Palace, who sit two points above the drop.

This is the widest-open Ballon d'Or race I can remember.
From the 30 candidates, I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if Kane, Yamal, Mbappé, Olise, Kvaratskhelia, Ousmane, or Rodri end up winning it. It's a complete free-for-all.
Kylian Mbappé has won the World Cup, broken countless records, and established himself among football's elite. But one prize continues to elude him: the Ballon d'Or.

The real difference between Millennials and Gen Zers is whether they still take unbridled joy in Manchester United being terrible, or whether they just feel bad for them.
Manchester United's crisis continues.
Days after being thrashed 4-1 by Como in the Champions League, United have suffered another humiliating defeat, losing 3-0 at home to Bournemouth.
How did one of Europe's biggest clubs fall so far?

Today's defeat to Bournemouth was another reminder that United's problems run far deeper than any individual manager.
From a European powerhouse to a club struggling for consistency in the Premier League, their incessant decline has been more than a decade in the making.
From winning the Bundesliga with Stuttgart to representing Germany at the World Cup, Thomas Hitzlsperger has experienced just about everything football has to offer, and his story is far from over.
We spoke to @Hitz_the_Hammer in an exclusive BTL interview: breakingthelines.com/@zachlo…
Hitzlsperger's influence extends far beyond the pitch. He returned to Stuttgart as Sporting Director and later CEO between 2019 and 2022, before moving into football investment and administration and working with a wide range of clubs: Hellas Verona, Aalborg BK, and VVV-Venlo.
More than a decade after hanging up his boots, Hitzlsperger remains deeply involved in shaping football's future.
He sat down with @ZachLowy for an exclusive Breaking the Lines interview, reflecting on the game's past, present, and future, and the challenges that lie ahead.

My first piece for @breakthelines
Pierre Sage went from rescuing Lyon, to making history with Lens, to facing questions over his future at Crystal Palace in little more than two years.
A piece about Sage, managerial credit and just how quickly football forgets.
Five months ago, Pierre Sage was one of Europe's most sought-after managers, having guided Lens to a Coupe de France and Champions League qualification.

However, Crystal Palace have presented a new challenge. After losing several key players & manager Oliver Glasner, they have struggled mightily, culminating in a 5-0 defeat to rivals Brighton.
Yet Sage was hired precisely because of his ability to rebuild teams in transition.
Sage has already shown at Lyon and Lens what he can achieve with patience and trust. Should four difficult months at Palace outweigh everything he accomplished in France?
@TomWelchUK explains why Palace must resist the temptation to hit the panic button: breakingthelines.com/@eyeonf…

The most under-fire managers in the Premier League:
1) Michael Carrick
2) Álvaro Arbeloa
3) Pierre Sage
4) Oliver Glasner
5) Roberto De Zerbi
6) Marco Rose
Who am I missing? 👀
Crystal Palace’s new project is already in trouble.
A 5–0 derby defeat to Brighton has intensified the pressure on Pierre Sage. With recruitment concerns mounting, who could step in if Palace decide to make a change?
