Crystal Palace enter 2026/27 under new manager Pierre Sage, who takes over on a three-year contract following Oliver Glasner's departure at the end of his contract. It caps a remarkable two-and-a-half-year spell for the Austrian, who arrived in February 2024 with Palace battling relegation and left having delivered the club's first-ever major trophy — the 2025 FA Cup — followed by Community Shield success and a run to the 2026 Conference League final against Rayo Vallecano.
Glasner's departure was amicable and long-planned, with the Austrian informing chairman Steve Parish of his decision to leave as early as October, giving the club time to plan for the transition. Sage inherits a squad reshaped by the summer sale of captain Marc Guéhi to Manchester City, and faces the challenge of maintaining Palace's newfound status as genuine cup specialists while continuing to compete for a top-half Premier League finish.
With European football now part of the fixture list for a club that spent decades as a solid mid-table Premier League fixture, expectations at Selhurst Park have shifted considerably under the foundations Glasner built.
