"he is the only player to have won the World Cup and the European Championships both as a captain and a coach (Brazil's former striker Zagallo has also coached his country to the cup, but he never captained his side)."
But later the article says he is the only person to have done this. Needs clarifying, in the english version at least
the photo is not franz beckenbauer.
sorry, i made a mistake, it is franz.
I feel he is quite unique; his drive has been football during his whole life, and he is the first player to have won the World Cup as player and coach for his own country (which marks the difference with the brazillian Zagallo)
"he is the only player to have won the World Cup and the European Championships both as a captain and a coach (Brazil's former striker Zagallo has also coached his country to the cup, but he never captained his side)."
While he has won the European Championships as a captain in 1972, he has never won them as a coach. In his only attempt, the West German team was ousted by the Netherlands in the semifinals in 1988.
* Didier Deschamps was also captain in 1998 and then coach in 2018. So the unique statement no longer holds. Pkoppenb ( talk) 19:24, 15 July 2018 (UTC)

While this is interesting, we can't use it unless you provide a source. Also, none of this is really trivia, as trivia by its definition is "unimportant information" - it therefore shouldn't be in a trivia section but instead the information should be incorporated into the main article. - Tbsdy lives ( talk) 11:05, 15 September 2008 (UTC)
"... making him the only player to have actively won all three types of World Cup Medals ( Franco Baresi] achieved a similar feet between 1982 and 1990, however did not play in any match in Italy's successful 1982 World Cup)."
I don't believe that Beckenbauer is the only one. What about Horst-Dieter Höttges who also played in all World cups between 1966 and 1974, see his FIFA record? -- Jaellee ( talk) 18:38, 26 January 2011 (UTC)
