Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes believes failure in Europe has exposed declining standards in the Barclays Premier League . Moyes is manager of Spanish side Real Sociedad , a job he took up in November . He has been linked with a return to England with West Ham , where Sam Allardyce remains in charge , but appears comfortable in La Liga . Former Everton and Manchester United boss David Moyes says the Premier League is n't what it once was . Real Sociedad 's Moyes says the Premier League now is 'probably the poorest I 've seen in a long , long time ' While Spanish sides have flourished in Europe this season their Premier League counterparts have struggled , with none left in the Champions League or Europa League after Arsenal , Manchester City , Chelsea and Everton bowed out this month . Moyes said on BBC Radio Five Live 's Sportsweek programme : 'It 's not been too long ago where we were looked at as probably having the best teams , and it does change . 'Chelsea , Manchester City , Arsenal are all exceptional teams in their own right and they 'll be disappointed they went out , and maybe on another day they 'd have gone through . 'It 's just becoming a wee bit of a habit that we 're not getting our teams quite as close to the final as we had in the past . Moyes shakes hands with Lionel Messi of Barcelona , one of the Spanish teams flourishing in Europe . He says Chelsea ( here bowing out of the Champions League to PSG ) , along with Manchester City and Arsenal 'are all exceptional teams ' but that the Premier League might be talked up more than it deserves to be . ' I think this year you 'd have to say it 's probably the poorest Premier League I 've seen in a long , long time . 'Maybe we do go over the top and recently we have maybe talked up the Premier League more than what it 's actually been . There 's other leagues which are certainly now comparable . ' Moyes expects to return to the Premier League , but not in the near future . ' I think someday I will , ' he said . ' I 've left when I did n't expect to be leaving but what I 've taken on is a great job . ' I love working in Spain . '
