The football world mourned the passing away of Franz Beckenbauer, the iconic figure synonymous with German football. He was 78.

The news was confirmed by the family through a statement released to a German news agency on January 8.

“It is with deep sadness that we announce that my husband and our father, Franz Beckenbauer, passed away peacefully in his sleep yesterday, Sunday, surrounded by his family. We ask that you allow us to grieve in silence and refrain from asking any questions,” the statement read.

Born in Munich, Beckenbauer was a true icon of German football. His elegance, leadership qualities, and exceptional skills on the pitch earned him the nickname “Der Kaiser” or “The Emperor”.

He played for Bayern Munich in the club level and the German national team, leaving an indelible mark on both.

Beckenbauer’s achievements in the sport are unparalleled. He won the Ballon d’Or awards in 1972 and 1976 and was named Germany’s Footballer of the Century in 2000. He also received the FIFA Centennial Player and Football Personality Award in 2004.

As a player, Beckenbauer redefined the role of the “Libero”, the free player behind the defensive lines who set the pace of the game.

He won 103 caps for Germany and led his country to victory in the 1972 European Championship and the 1974 World Cup, which was held on home soil.

Not only was Beckenbauer a remarkable player, but he also achieved success as a coach.

He is one of only three individuals to have won the World Cup both as a player and coach.

His coaching prowess was evident in Germany’s triumph in the 1990 World Cup final against Argentina.

Beckenbauer’s legacy extends beyond Germany. He played for the New York Cosmos in the United States, winning three North American Soccer League trophies alongside Pelé.

Franz Beckenbauer’s impact on the football world is immeasurable.

His skill, leadership, and elegance on the pitch will forever be remembered.
