Franz Beckenbauer, born on September 11, 1945, showcased his versatility by transitioning from a midfielder to a central defender.

Widely credited as the architect of the modern sweeper role (libero), he revolutionized football tactics.

Beckenbauer’s success transcended national and club boundaries.

His remarkable achievement of securing the FIFA World Cup, European Champions Cup, and the Ballon d’Or places him among the football elite.

Twice named European Footballer of the Year, his iconic career spanned 103 appearances for West Germany, featuring in three FIFA World Cups and two European Championships.

A rare feat shared with select football luminaries—Mário Zagallo and Didier Deschamps—Beckenbauer captained West Germany to World Cup victory in 1974 and replicated this success as a manager in 1990.

As the first captain to lift both the World Cup and European Championship, his influence extended to the club level, where he secured the European Cup Winners’ Cup in 1967 and three consecutive European Cups from 1974 to 1976 with Bayern Munich.

Beckenbauer’s influence reverberated through accolades like the World Team of the 20th Century, FIFA World Cup Dream Team, and the Ballon d’Or Dream Team.

Beyond his playing days, he led Germany’s triumphant bid to host the 2006 FIFA World Cup and chaired the organizing committee. His enduring impact continued as a Sky Germany pundit and a columnist for Bild.

Despite his illustrious career, Beckenbauer faced scrutiny in 2016 for alleged fraud and money laundering related to the 2006 World Cup.

The investigation concluded in 2020 without a verdict, as the statute of limitations expired.
