German legend Franz Beckenbauer, widely regarded as one of football's greatest players, has died aged 78, his family said in a statement to German news agency DPA.
He won the World Cup as captain of West Germany in 1974 and lifted the trophy again as manager in 1990.
The former defender also played 582 times for Bayern Munich, again winning the German top-flight and European Cup as both as a player and a manager.
