Glasner departed Palace having won the FA Cup and Conference League with the club and is replaced by Sage, last season’s Ligue 1 manager of the year with Lens.
The 47-year-old has signed a three-year deal at Selhurst Park, having guided Lens to the Coupe de France and Champions League qualification during the last campaign.
“It’s amazing to be here at Crystal Palace,” Sage said. “I am excited by the history of the club, and by recent seasons. Oliver Glasner achieved some amazing things, and now I have to do the same. That’s why we come here with a lot of ambition.
“The dynamic here is really positive, and we are in this mindset too. We won last year – and we want to continue in this way, in a new club, a new project, but with a lot of winning habits.
“We want to give our best every day for the team, for the club, for the people, and especially for the fans, because when you love a club in England, it’s for all your life.
“We want to give the fans what they want. We want to make the fans smile, to be proud of the team, and to be proud of the club – so we will give our best for you, and we are together.”
