The world of football mourns one of its legends. Franz Beckenbauer died on Sunday at the age of 78. The announcement, late Monday afternoon, raised a wave of emotions commensurate with the mark it leaves on the football world. Bayern was the common thread of his career, more than five decades in the world of football during which he lived three lives, the first as a player in the 1960s and 1970s, the second as a coach in the second half of the 1980s, and a last one as leader in the 1990s and 2000s.
Winner of the European Cup of Champion Clubs in 1974, 1975, and 1976 with Bayern, European champion in 1972 and world champion in 1974 with the Mannschaft, Ballon d’Or in 1972 and 1976, Beckenbauer won all possible trophies for a player. On the coaching bench, he also experienced the glory of a world champion title in 1990, and more difficult moments such as his short-lived stint at Bernard Tapie’s Olympique de Marseille.
