Sage took over as Lens manager in June last year and led the club to a second-place finish in Ligue 1. In addition, Lens beat Nice to win the Coupe de France<\/a> for the first time in their 120-year history.<\/p>\n It is understood Palace are keeping an open mind to their managerial search and want to take their time before deciding their new first-choice target.<\/p>\n Glasner, who led the club to the FA Cup last season and the Conference League this term, announced in January he would be leaving the club<\/a> at the end of his contract this summer.<\/p>\n Coventry boss Frank Lampard, Ipswich manager Kieran McKenna, former Eintracht Frankfurt boss Dino Toppmoller, ex-Spurs boss Thomas Frank and former Burnley<\/a> and Nottingham Forest<\/a> manager Sean Dyche are also being considered with a number having already held talks.<\/p>\n Lampard has key admirers at Selhurst Park and is believed to be aware of Palace’s interest.<\/p>\n The former Chelsea<\/a> midfielder and manager has enhanced his reputation at Coventry, leading the Sky Blues to the Championship title<\/a> and Premier League promotion.<\/p>\n But Lampard currently has 12 months left on his deal and releasing him from Coventry is likely to cost a significant sum which could create a stumbling block.<\/p>\n Similarly, McKenna, who has led Ipswich back to the top-flight, is on big wages at Portman Road and is believed to have a release clause worth a minimum of \u00a35m.<\/p>\n Frank, Toppmoller and Dyche are all without a club and would be more straightforward to appoint.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Sage took over as Lens manager in June last year and led the club to a second-place finish in Ligue…<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":756,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pagelayer_contact_templates":[],"_pagelayer_content":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-755","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-sport"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=755"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/755\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/756"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=755"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=755"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/racingsport.xyz\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=755"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
