Departing West Ham assistant Zeljko Petrovic has launched a bitter attack on the English game following his departure from Upton Park.

The Montenegrin was brought in by Avram Gant as his number two in the summer, but he has been axed with the Hammers sitting bottom of the league.

Now after seeing his job axed, Petrovic has slammed the standard of the Premier League.

"Everybody has great words for the Premier League but it is a myth," said Petrovic.

"The Premier League is a c*** league, it is nothing. In truth the level is shocking. Every team has just three good players. If you take those players out of the teams then there are only players left who would not be playing in the bottom team in Holland.

"The Bundesliga is far better."
