Glasner Defuses Fan Protests After Palace Win as Board Backs Coach

He says criticism from supporters is acceptable, with club leaders expressing confidence in his leadership.

Overview

  • Crystal Palace beat Wolverhampton 1-0 on Sunday, securing their first home league victory since early November.
  • Fans unfurled a banner that read “Missed opportunities — board incompetent. Fans ignored — Glasner finished,” days after some had called for his exit during the 1-1 at Zrinjski Mostar.
  • Oliver Glasner said the criticism is “absolutely fine,” credited supporters for backing the team to a late winner, and urged a push for more wins to lift the mood.
  • He said he met the board, chairman and sporting director, who told him they believe he is the right coach, following reports of talks about his position late last week.
  • His deal expires this summer and he has signaled he will not extend it, a stance shaped by a poor run that included an early FA Cup exit and league struggles.
