Crystal Palace F.C. manager Oliver Glasner says he retains the full backing of the club’s hierarchy despite supporters unveiling a banner calling for his dismissal during Sunday’s dramatic 1-0 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers F.C..

Palace secured all three points at Selhurst Park thanks to a 90th-minute strike from Evann Guessand against 10-man Wolves, a result that lifted them to 13th in the Premier League table.

However, the late winner did not prevent tensions from surfacing in the stands. A protest banner displayed during the match read: “Opportunities missed – board inept. Fans disrespected – Glasner finished.”

The Austrian coach revealed after the game that he had already received reassurances about his position from key figures at the club.

“I spoke to the board, to the chairman (Steve Parish), to the sporting director (Matt Hobbs) and they said, ‘No, we think you are the right one,’” Glasner told the BBC.

“For me, it’s important that the fans support the team, and they did it until the end. Of course, the fans are like us all — disappointed with some results and some parts of the game. That’s normal.”

The supporters’ frustration appears to stem from Glasner’s comments earlier this week when he urged fans to “stay humble” after sections of the fanbase called for his sacking following a 1-1 draw at HŠK Zrinjski Mostar in the UEFA Europa Conference League playoffs.

Glasner suggested that some critics had lost perspective, pointing to last season’s FA Cup triumph — the first major trophy in Palace’s 120-year history — as evidence of the progress made under his leadership.

“We had the best two years in Crystal Palace’s history and then it’s not so easy for a club to say, ‘Hey, it’s better you leave,’” he added.

The 51-year-old stated last month that he intends to depart when his contract expires at the end of the season, though he moved to clarify his position amid speculation.

“I don’t know if the club has a different idea. I don’t want to stay in the way, and then we will find a solution,” he said. “I didn’t say I will step back, I will resign or whatever — so maybe now it is clearer.”

When pressed on whether he wants to remain in charge until the campaign concludes, Glasner was unequivocal in shifting the focus away from himself.

“Oliver Glasner is not important. Crystal Palace is important,” he said. “If the club had thought they need a change, then I don’t want to be in the way. That is what I meant.”

He also confirmed he has spoken openly with his squad about the uncertainty, underlining the need for unity during a challenging spell.

“It’s not that I have to live in London because otherwise I don’t know what to do,” he said. “The most important thing is Crystal Palace, and I am here 100% to be successful for Crystal Palace.

“I need the players. It’s important that the players are believing in what we are telling them — me and the staff.”
