Leicester defied all odds to win Premier League champions

The 2015/16 season involved 32 managers and this season proved to be an inspiring story for all the underdogs as Leicester City defeated all the odds to become the sixth club to win the Premier League title. The top clubs of the league failed to perform as Chelsea and Liverpool finished outside the top-four.

Chelsea, Aston Villa and Swansea changed their managers thrice while four more teams made changes to the managerial role. This season saw the end of Jose Mourinho's second spell with Chelsea in a poor manner as he left the club when the team was just one point above the relegation zone.

Louis Van Gaal, who was appointed as the manager of Manchester United failed to make a big impact as his side finished at 5th position in the table, falling short of the Champions League spots.

Promoted Watford and AFC Bournemouth, earned safety with their highest PL finishes, while Aston Villa were cut adrift and relegated from the competition for the first time in April. The relegation battle was intense at the end as Sunderland, Newcastle and Norwich were fighting out to survive in the top-tier and it was Sunderland who ultimately avoided the relegation.

However, the season belonged to Leicester as manager Ranieri and his players were given a guard of honour as they finished the season with a draw at Chelsea, the Italian's former club and the previous champions.
