FootballThomas Tuchel Explains Why the English Premier League Is the Best in Europe
- Thomas Tuchel rates the Premier League as the best in Europe
- The Bayern Munich manager compared the EPL to other European leagues
- Tuchel led Chelsea to the UEFA Champions League title in 2021
Thomas Tuchel still rates the English Premier League higher than the rest of the European leagues, including the German Bundesliga.
Tuchel has had stints in the Bundesliga, French Ligue 1 and Premier League in his managerial career, winning multiple trophies across all leagues, but the German still rates the EPL higher.
According to SB Nation, the Bayern Munich manager explained in a recent interview that the Premier League is at the highest level due to the demands of the league.
“The Premier League is more robust and demands even more from the players than the Bundesliga. That’s certainly my impression. Mentally, physically and psychologically, it’s at the highest level.
“That’s why the teams are expanding. The squads are getting larger, and they rotate a lot more than they did a few years ago.”
Tuchel led former club Chelsea to the UEFA Champions League title in 2021, beating Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City in the final in an all-English final.
