01. Probably one of the biggest shocks in 2015, was the parting of ways between coach Fouad Abou Chacra and Sagesse! Indeed, right before the end of the year, both parties mutually agreed that it was time to separate. Abou Chacra was highly regarded as the person holding Sagesse together despite all internal problems, so this decision was tragic and stupefying for all green castle fans!
