7. "I have nothing to say" - Jose Mourinho (2016)

Jose Mourinho is a Premier League legend in his own right - he has won the competition thrice, and his presence at the touchline adds an automatic "X-factor" to the game due to what he brings to the table.

The Portuguese man has had several amazing moments in the Premier League - from stopping Liverpool from winning the title to calling Arsene Wenger a "specialist in failure", Mourinho barely disappoints both on and off the field. However, this post-game interview is famous for its comic factor and has gone down as one of the best managerial interviews ever.

A man famously known for saying a lot of words, Mourinho was at a loss of the same post-Chelsea's 3-1 loss to Liverpool. Having been previously fined for speaking controversially in post-game interviews and for skipping them, Jose found a loophole. He simply declined to comment on anything (much to the astonishment of the interviewer), and his lack of words has since gone down in history as the special one became a speechless one.

6. Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement (2013)

When you think of manager's in the Premier League, no one's name stands out more than Sir Alex Ferguson. With 13 Premier League titles to his name, there is no single individual who has impacted the course of this competition as much as the legendary Scottish international, who was a part of the league for over 20 years.

In 2013, the manager announced his plan to retire following 27 years at the Red Devils, where he had transformed the club. His last game in charge was against West Bromwich Albion, which finished 5-5.

Ferguson left Manchester United as 20-time league champions, and his farewell at Old Trafford was something to see as thousands of faith chanted his name. He won the Premier League title in his last season too, and the Red Devils are yet to replace their legendary manager more than six years after his departure.
