Ex-Motherwell manager Jens Berthel Askou has been linked with the Crystal Palace job amid pressure on manager Pierre Sage.
Askou left Motherwell this summer after just one season to join Ligue 1 side Toulouse.
The Dane guided Motherell to a fourth place finish last season, earning nationwide plaudits for his coaching at Motherwell’s style of play. Askou was initially linked with the Celtic job prior to Martin O’Neill’s one year contract extension, but earned himself a move to France.
Toulouse currently sit 12th in France’s top flight, earning further praise in one of Europe’s top league. This high praise has resulted in him being linked with the Crystal Palace job.
Pierre Sage joined the Conference League champions this summer, replacing Crystal Palace legend Oliver Glasner, but it’s not been the start to life the Frenchman would’ve wanted.
The South London club are currently bottom of the Premier League after the opening 10 matches and lie 21st in the Europa League.
Heading into the second international break of the season, rumours around Askou’s future may continue, only to be intensified should Sage depart Crystal Palace.
