German football legend Franz Beckenbauer, who is regarded as one of the greatest players ever to play the game, has died, aged 78. The defender played 582 games for Bayern Munich and won the Bundesliga both as a player and as a manager of the Bavarian team. Beckenbauer, nicknamed ‘Der Kaiser,’ also won the World Cup as captain of West Germany in 1974 and lifted the trophy again as manager in 1990. The two-time Ballon d’Or winner is one of three men to have achieved this feat, having been capped by his country 103 times. "It is with deep sadness that we announce that my husband and our father, Franz Beckenbauer, passed away peacefully in his sleep, surrounded by his family. We ask that you allow us time to grieve in silence and refrain from asking any questions," a family statement to German publication DPA read. Beckenbauer led Bayern Munich to four league titles and captained the side to three European Cups in 1974, 1975 and 1976. A club statement said, “the world of FC Bayern is no longer what it used to be, suddenly darker, quieter and poorer." "As a player, coach, president and person; unforgettable. Nobody will ever reach him. People can say they saw football in Franz Beckenbauer’s time. He was a friend to me, a unique companion and a gift to all of us," said Bayern’s honorary president, Uli Hoeness. Thousands mourned the loss of Beckenbauer, with former teammates, opponents and clubs from around the world paying tribute to the German.
