Former Bayern Munich head coach Ottmar Gitzfeld has suggested renaming the club's home arena Allianz Arena after the death of Franz Beckenbauer.
"Franz was a friend of mine with whom I was able to spend many years at Bayern Munich. We always got on very well. Beckenbauer is the greatest of all time because he achieved everything that can be achieved - he became a world champion with Germany as a world-class player and then as a coach.
He helped create the Bayern Munich charisma, along with Gerd Müller, Uli Hoeness, Karl-Heinz Rummenigge and several others. That's why it would be good if the Allianz Arena was renamed the Franz-Beckenbauer-Arena," kicker quoted the 74-year-old as saying.
