- Franz Beckenbauer died on Sunday at the age of 78.
- Former Bayern boss Karl-Heinz Rummenigge would like to hold a big memorial service in the Allianz Arena.
- Beckenbauer’s former teammate Berti Vogts would even name the DFB Cup after Franz Beckenbauer.
Karl-Heinz Rummenigge wants to hold a big memorial service for Franz Beckenbauer, who died on Sunday. “The entire world of football and beyond is mourning the loss of our friend Franz. FC Bayern should host a memorial service in his memory in gratitude and memory, which would never have existed without him!” said the ex-Bayern boss «Bild».
«I am deeply shocked. “Franz Beckenbauer has rewrote the history of German football and had a lasting impact,” the supervisory board of the German record champions said in a statement from the club. “He was my captain at FC Bayern, my coach at the national team, our president at Bayern and in all of these roles he was not only successful but unique.” The 68-year-old Rummenigge continued: “German football is losing the greatest personality in its history.”
Bayern honorary president Uli Hoeness said: “Franz Beckenbauer is the greatest personality FC Bayern has ever had. As a player, coach, president, person: unforgettable. Nobody will ever reach him.”
Will the DFB Cup be renamed?
According to information from “Bild”, Rummenigge spoke to Hoeness (72) on the phone about the topic on Monday. Bavaria wants to examine the feasibility of the proposal. The funeral service would then take place in the Allianz Arena with 75,024 seats. Beckenbauer died on Sunday at the age of 78.
Beckenbauer’s former teammate Berti Vogts (77) has another suggestion: The former national coach can imagine renaming the DFB Cup in honor of Beckenbauer: “It is important that his name is not forgotten by the following generations of footballers. Maybe the DFB should think about naming the DFB Cup after Franz Beckenbauer, for example,” said Vogts “Rhineland Post”.
