         Sagesse tie with Ahli Saida and secure D1 spot.
-June 19, 2008:
By tying the game with Ahli Saida 1-1, Sagesse secured its presence in D1 for next year's league.
The game was almost lost when the referee whistled a 2nd penalty for Ahli Saida, but they missed the opportunity to score the winner.
Sagesse opened the score thanks to Vartan, then Ahli Saida tied with a 1st penalty.
The season's last game will be next Thursday 26th against Irshad. An aimless game for both teams, as Sagesse secured its spot in D1 and Irshad is definitely relegated to D2.

-May 5th, 2008:
Sagesse lost the Arab Championship in the dying seconds of the game when Zain’s John Thomas scored the crucial points and gave the Jordanian team the title.
Contrary to all previsions, Sagesse bravely crossed the path to the finals, eliminating their powerful rival Sporting in a thundering semifinal, proving that Sagesse is heading back to his heydays and more glorious times to come.
Sagesse did immensely benefit from the inestimable added-value of Alfa Bangura who joined the Green roster especially for the Pan-Arab games.

         Sagesse to meet Sporting in Cup semifinal.
-April  7th, 2008:
A tough, defensive and pressured quarterfinal confronted Sagesse to Muttahed tonight. As the score indicates, the game ending 69-62 to Sagesse was very defensive and cautiously handled by both teams, with a priority focus on tactics and coaches systems, especially on the defensive side.
While Muttahed led the first 2 quarters, coach Nenad was able to adjust and fine tune his players’ performance –mainly defensively- during the halftime break, after which Sagesse took the lead and was able to clinch the ticket to the semifinals to meet Sporting next Saturday at 5pm in a top semifinal, maybe this season’s cup’s biggest game.

In spite of the rush and pressure before his departure back to the KSA, he gladly spared us some of his tight time to recall wonderful moments and comment on the current situation of Sagesse and Lebanese football....(click to read the whole interview)
