National coach Julian Nagelsmann (36) after Beckenbauer’s death: “For me, Franz Beckenbauer was the best footballer in German history. When Franz Beckenbauer entered a room, the room lit up; he rightly earned the title “Lightning Figure of German Football”. Until the very end, an aura surrounded him that even the health problems and strokes of fate that he had to cope with could not shake. I am grateful and proud that I had the opportunity to meet him and will remember him fondly.”
