The South London club have moved swiftly in their search for a new head coach and are now on the verge of confirming Saga as the man tasked with leading the Eagles into a new era at Selhurst Park.
According to reports, an agreement has been reached between all parties, with Palace prepared to activate the release clause contained in the manager’s contract. The payment is expected to be completed within the coming days, clearing the final hurdle before the appointment is officially announced.
While the formal completion of the move could take place next week, there is growing confidence behind the scenes that the deal is effectively done. Palace have already finalised the key details of the contract and Saga is expected to put pen to paper on a three-year deal.
The appointment marks a significant moment for the club as they look to build on recent progress and establish themselves as a consistent force in the Premier League.

His work in recent seasons has earned widespread praise across Europe, attracting attention from several clubs. However, Crystal Palace have moved decisively to secure his services and are now set to win the race for one of the most highly-rated coaches currently available.
Supporters will be eager to discover what changes the incoming manager intends to make once he officially takes charge. Palace face an important summer, with decisions to be made regarding player recruitment, squad depth and the futures of several key first-team stars.
The club’s ambition to continue progressing both domestically and in Europe was understood to be a major factor in discussions, while Saga was attracted by the opportunity to manage in the Premier League and work with a squad containing a number of exciting young talents.
Barring any late complications, the deal is expected to be completed without issue. Palace are now preparing for the official unveiling, which could arrive as early as next week once the release clause payment has been processed and all remaining formalities have been completed.
