# Franz Beckenbauer

> They called him der Kaiser, and the nickname stuck because he redrew the map. Beckenbauer didn't just play centre-back - he invented the modern sweeper, turned defence into attack, and won everything there was to win as both player and manager.

## Bio

Born in Munich in 1945, Beckenbauer started as a midfielder before dropping back and redefining what a defender could do from deep. He captained West Germany to the World Cup in 1974, won three straight European Cups with Bayern Munich from 1974 to 1976, and collected two Ballon d'Or awards along the way. After a stint with the New York Cosmos, he returned to manage West Germany and lifted the World Cup again in 1990 - one of only three men to win it as both player and boss. He later led Germany's bid for the 2006 World Cup and chaired the tournament, though the final years brought a fraud investigation tied to that event; it closed in 2020 when the statute of limitations ran out. He died in January 2024, widely regarded as one of the three greatest footballers of the past century.
