German legend Franz Beckenbauer has died at age 78.

Nicknamed Der Kaiser, he won the World Cup as captain of West Germany in 1974 and lifted the trophy again as manager in 1990.

As a player, the former defender also won the European Championship in 1972 and copped the Ballon d’Or twice.

During his club career, he played 582 times for Bayern Munich, winning five league titles and was captain for the German giants’ three European Cup wins in 1974, 1975 and 1976.
