The league is known as the "Premier League" or formerly Carling/Barclays Premier League.
English has never been an official part of the title.

Rumours Celtic are in for Ange Postecoglou as coach. Guy is an absolute genius and probably the kind of thing they genuinely need.
When he took over Brisbane over here 10 years ago he took one of the bottom clubs, cleared out a bunch of olds including Craig Moore and Danny Tiatto and subsequently went 37 games unbeaten in a parity/salary cap league playing the best football I have ever seen a domestic Australian club play.
His time managing Australia is hard to judge. We were coming off the Viduka/Kewell/Emerton golden era and he took over before a WC because we got pants 6-0 twice by Brazil and France. Again he cleared out deadwood and put Australia into a path to succeed which we did. He eventually left before WC 2018 (qualifying us there with a rubbish side) before going to Japan and winning again.
He would do good things IMO.
