Franz Anton Beckenbauer is the German former professional footballer and manager. In his playing career he was nicknamed Der Kaiser because of his elegant style, dominance and leadership on the field.
Franz is widely regarded as one of the greatest players in the history of the sport. A versatile player who started out as a midfielder, made his name as a central defender, and is often credited as having invented the role of the modern sweeper.
Twice named European Footballer of the Year, Franz appeared 103 times for West Germany and played in three FIFA World Cups and two European Championships. He is one of three men, along with Brazil's Mário Zagallo and France's Didier Deschamps to have won the World Cup as a player and as a manager; he lifted the World Cup trophy as captain in 1974, and repeated the feat as a manager in 1990.
Franz was named in the World Team of the 20th Century in 1998, the FIFA World Cup Dream Team in 2002, and in 2004 was listed in the FIFA 100 of the world's greatest living players.
At club level with Bayern Munich, Franz won the UEFA Cup Winners' Cup in 1967 and three consecutive European Cups from 1974 to 1976.
