The soccer world is mourning the loss of one of its most influential figures: Franz Beckenbauer, who passed away last Sunday at the age of 78, leaving behind not only an incomparable sporting career but also people who were close to him. Among them is his ex-wife Sybille Beckenbauer, with whom "Der Kaiser" once tied the knot.
The relationship between Franz and Sybille Beckenbauer began in 1988 when Franz Beckenbauer already held a prominent position in the German Football Association. Two years later, in 1990, they were married. However, their marriage was not to last; they separated in 2004 without having children together.
