Sean Dyche is reportedly the leading candidate to become Crystal Palace’s next manager if the club sacks Pierre Sage.

The former Watford, Burnley, Everton and Nottingham Forest boss has been identified as the frontrunner in a report from the Telegraph, which requires a subscription.

Talksport reports that former Brentford manager Thomas Frank and ex-Wolves boss Vitor Pereira could also be considered for the position. Former Ferencvaros manager Robbie Keane is also said to be among the possible contenders.

The reports concern a potential change in the Palace dugout, with Dyche currently presented as the leading name should Sage’s tenure come to an end.
