Crystal Palace confirmed on Thursday, November 12, that Pierre Sage had left his position as head coach, bringing his short spell at Selhurst Park to an abrupt end.
The London-based club also announced the departure of three members of his coaching staff: Jamal Alioui, Damien Della Santa and Sandy Guichard.
In a statement, Palace thanked Sage and his assistants for their efforts during their time at the club and wished them well in their future endeavours.
The club added that it would provide an update on the process of appointing a new manager in due course.
Sage's dismissal comes after a difficult start to his tenure, having managed the Eagles in only 16 matches across all competitions.
His record in the Premier League was particularly concerning, with Palace losing seven of their first 10 top-flight matches. The poor run left the club at the bottom of the league standings, increasing pressure on the French tactician.
His final match in charge was Sunday's encounter against Liverpool, in which Palace suffered a 3-1 home defeat.
Sage had taken over from Oliver Glasner, who left the club voluntarily last season after guiding the Eagles to major silverware, including the FA Cup, Community Shield and Europa Conference League.
Glasner subsequently took charge of Nottingham Forest, leaving Palace to find a new manager.
The latest dismissal also comes amid changes at Manchester United, who parted ways with Carrick after a poor start to the campaign.
Manchester United are reportedly considering United States men's national team head coach Mauricio Pochettino for the vacant position.
