Crystal Palace are reported to have added Toulouse FC manager Jens Berthel Askou to their shortlist of potential replacements for Pierre Sage, according to information from Sky Sports.

Having joined the French club from Motherwell last summer, the Danish manager quickly made his mark through the quality of play demonstrated by Les Violets. Whilst TéFéCé, currently 12th in Ligue 1, have already recorded a respectable record of three wins, four draws and three defeats, this could have been even better had Askou’s side managed to capitalise more on their chances in front of goal.

However, the 44-year-old manager, whose contract length is unknown, is reportedly not the only candidate the Eagles are considering, with former RB Leipzig assistant manager Ole Werner also cited as a contender for the role. Unemployed since leaving the Saxon club in June 2026, the German oversaw 38 matches with Die Roten, whom he helped secure a return to the Champions League this season.
