It is generally agreed upon that Beckenbauer, who is often referred to as “Der Kaiser” (The Emperor), is one of the most accomplished football players in the annals of the sport’s history.
“Beckenbauer was a name that was synonymous with victory.”
An abundance of adulation is being heaped upon “Der Kaiser.”
Gianni Infantino, in his position as President of FIFA, referred to Franz Beckenbauer as a “true legend.” Beckenbauer was a former football player.
“Der Kaiser was a beautiful person being, a friend to the sport of football, and a renowned character in the world of football. There is no way that we will ever forget you, Frank, and we are thankful for all that you have done.
Bernd Neuendorf, the chairman of the German Football Federation (DFB), has said that the passing of Franz Beckenbauer is a critical moment in the history of the sport.
The job that he has done throughout his life is something that we consider with amazement and gratitude whenever we think about it. The fact that he was a wonderful guy in addition to being a one-of-a-kind football player is something that we have lost,” Neuendorf said.
Without a shadow of a doubt, Der Kaiser was considered to be one of the most gifted sportsmen that our sport has ever seen. On the playing field, he set new standards with his airiness, elegance, and general viewpoint. He created new benchmarks. Both the meticulousness and charm that he demonstrated as the manager of the team, as well as the energy and desire that he displayed as the chairman of the World Cup organizing committee, will be remembered for all time.
“Franz Beckenbauer leaves behind a great legacy for the DFB and football as a whole.”
Furthermore, Hans-Joachim Watzke, the vice president of the German Football Federation, said that Beckenbauer “was without a doubt the greatest German footballer of all time, and above all, one of the greatest men who I have lived with.” Beckenbauer was a member of the German national football team before he retired.
As a result of the news that Franz Beckenbauer has gone away, the Bundesliga family is in complete and absolute astonishment. The very definition of an icon, both in the past and in the present. “May you rest in peace, Der Kaiser,” the Bundesliga of Germany said in a statement. “May you rest in peace.”
The late Beckenbauer was hailed as “one of the greatest as a player and a coach, but off the pitch as well,” according to Lothar Matthaus, who was the coach of Germany when they won the World Cup in 1990. During the World Cup, Matthaus served as the captain of the German teams that triumphed.
According to what Matthaus said in an interview with the German tabloid Bild, “His death is a loss for football and for the entire country of Germany.”
Beckenbauer was referred to as “one of European football’s greatest sons” by the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) at the same time that this was taking place.
Beckenbauer would be remembered fondly for all time, according to the English Premier League, which said that “Der Kaiser” was as smart as he was dominant. Beckenbauer would be remembered for all time.

In addition to being successful on the field, a remarkable career
Didier Deschamps of France and Mario Zagallo of Brazil, who passed away recently, are the only two people in the history of the World Cup to have won the tournament as both a player and while they were coaching. Only three persons in the whole globe were able to achieve this accomplishment, and Beckenbauer was one of them.
While he was playing for Bayern Munich, he was honored with a number of prestigious awards, including the Intercontinental Cup and three consecutive European Cups. Along with the accomplishments he accomplished while playing for the national team, he also took home a number of additional honors.
Following a number of years spent in the coaching profession, Beckenbauer moved on to a career in football administration.
Nevertheless, he made headlines in 2016 when he was fined by FIFA’s ethics committee for failing to comply with an investigation into misconduct behind the awarding of the 2018 and 2022 World Cups to Russia and Qatar, respectively. The inquiry was investigating whether or not there was any impropriety involved in their selection. A significant amount of attention was drawn to him as a result of this occurrence.
