After his glittering career at Bayern Munich, Franz Beckenbauer crossed the pond for a lucrative contract with New York Cosmos.
After several years in the United States, where he formed a legendary team with Brazilian star Pelé, Beckenbauer returned to Germany to win the German championship again with Hamburg.
In 1984, Beckenbauer started his career as Germany’s national coach. In 1986, his team immediately played the World Cup final against Argentina. That was lost 2-3.
Four years later it was a success for Beckenbauer. Germany took revenge against Argentina and won 1-0 against Diego Maradona & co in Rome.
