9. Arsene Wenger Jogs On The Spot
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q_3DcAnU5ms Arsene Wenger is arguably the second best manager in the Premier League era behind Sir Alex Ferguson, achieving some incredible things during his time at Arsenal, including the invincible year. He has also had his fair share of controversial and hilarious moments on the touchline, but none compare to this. In the UEFA Champions League quarter-final against Villarreal in 2009 Arsenal were 3-0 victors and progressed to the semi-final of Europes elite club competition. This led to brilliant celebrations from many of those in the Emirates that night, apart from one person, Arsene Wenger. As the fans and players celebrated the television cameras went straight to Wenger as he got off his seat, clenched his fists, did a slow motion run and then began to jog on the spot, pumping his fists before casually walking back to his seat. The only thing that could have made it more embarrassing for the Frenchman was if he ran down the touchline and joined in with the dance that some of his players were doing.
