Berlin, (APP - UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News - 18th Jul, 2018 ) :Franz Beckenbauer, who won the World Cup as a player and a coach, welcomed Didier Deschamps on Tuesday "to our club!" Beckenbauer won the World Cup as player with West Germany in 1974 and as Germany manager in 1990. He followed Brazilian Mario Zagallo, who won as a player in 1958 and 1962, as a head coach in 1970 and as an assistant in 1994.
Deschamps won as a player in 1998 and, on Sunday, triumphed as a coach when France beat Croatia 4-2 in the final in Moscow.
"Now we are three," Der Kaiser told German newspaper Bild. "Perhaps we should get together.
" Like Beckenbauer, Deschamps captained his country to World Cup victory. That was significant the German said.
"You'll automatically learn how to lead a team," Beckenbauer said. "That helped me later as a coach" "Of all the World Cup favourites, only France went through the tournament at a consistent level."Beckenbauer added that he thinks the club should be bigger.
"It's surprising that in the long World Cup era, going back to 1930, it has happened so little," said the German. "Some have already tried, Maradona for example, but have not succeeded."
