Franz Beckenbauer, one in all 3 other people to win the International Cup as each a participant and trainer, died Sunday. He was once 78.
“It’s with deep disappointment that we announce that my husband and our father, Franz Beckenbauer, kicked the bucket peacefully in his sleep the day past, Sunday, surrounded through his circle of relatives,” his circle of relatives stated in a remark.
“We ask that you simply let us grieve in silence and chorus from asking any questions.”
Beckenbauer, a defender, received 103 caps for Germany. He was once an integral a part of his nation’s 1972 Eu Championship-winning and 1974 International Cup-winning squads. He took house the 1972 and 1976 Ballon d’Or awards.
Der Kaiser, as he was once recognized, scored 14 targets in global play, and a complete of 79 for his golf equipment: Bayern Munich, New York Cosmos, and Hamburger SV.
Beckenbauer controlled each Germany — who received the 1990 International Cup — and Bayern Munich.
“The sector of FC Bayern is now not what it was — all of sudden darker, quieter, poorer,” the membership wrote in a remark.
Mário Zagallo (Brazil), who died previous this month, and Didier Deschamps (France) are the others who received the International Cup as each a participant and trainer.
