Some Dragons fans called for Page to resign after a 0-0 draw against opponents ranked 203 in the world.
Rob Page had to face up to jeers from Wales supporters after his side’s goalless friendly draw against Gibraltar
It was Wales’ first game since losing a play-off final penalty shoot-out to Poland in March that denied them a place at Euro 2024 this summer. “We’ve had a result that’s not gone our way against Gibraltar and I’ll take the criticism. I took it as a player and as a manager.“The form at the minute has been OK with regards to results. We haven’t qualified for the Euros, but we’ll regroup and go again on Sunday.”
The Football Association of Wales immediately backed Page to continue in his role after the Poland defeat, and the 49-year-old has over two years left on his contract. There were only 44 caps in the starting line-up and not one of the XI played in the Premier League in the season just finished.
