The Telegraph says Lage is sueing Textor for £6m in damages. American billionaire Textor is contesting the lawsuit.

Lage claims he has a contract signed by Textor stating he'd be offered the position of manager of Palace or coach of Lyon.

It's suggested the contract was inked after Lage was appointed coach of Botafogo, another club Textor owns.
