The coach of the France team pays a vibrant tribute to the former German star, who died at the age of 78.
The very exclusive club of World Cup winners as players and coaches only had three members. Two died within a few days, first the Brazilian Mario Zagallo, then the German Franz Beckenbauer. “It is with immense sadness that I learned of the death of Franz Beckenbauer, declares the third thief on this prestigious list, the coach of the French team Didier Deschamps. His disappearance comes just a few days after that of Mario Zagallo. It was a huge honor for me to join them both in 2018 among those who won the World Cup as a player and then as coach. My pain, today, is equal to the happiness that was mine to be invited to the table of these two giants of international football».
Before guiding the Mannschaft to the supreme coronation as coach, the Kaiser “was first a world-class player, a talented and authoritarian defender with his almost always club, Bayern Munich, but also with the German selection with whom he collected trophies. He exuded a class, a confidence that many sought to be inspired by“, underlines “DD“, explaining that through “everything he achieved but also what he exuded, Franz Beckenbauer was an extremely respected personality, who embodied the demands of the very highest level. I send to his family, his loved ones and all those who, like me, admired him, all my support in this sad and painful moment.“. Former player of Bayern, Hamburg and New York Cosmos, short-lived OM coach, Franz Beckenbauer died on Sunday at the age of 78.
