The player and coach, also known as 'der Kaiser' (the Emperor), is to be cast in bronze in an elegant pose as the game's conductor. He will stand on a pedestal in the shape of the Bavarian flag's rhombus.
Beckenbauer, widely considered one of the best players of all time, made his name at Bayern Munich, helping the club to their first promotion to the Bundesliga before winning league titles and European Cups. Bayern also helped launch Beckenbauer's stunning career in the German national team, where he won the World Cup both as a coach and as a player.
The statue of Franz Beckenbauer will stand next to that of former teammate and Bayern striker Gerd Muller, who still holds the Bundesliga goal-scoring record. It's anticipated that their statues will positively impact the perception of Bayern's club history for future generations.
