Establish a day of remembrance for Franz Beckenbauer: the proposal has already started, in Germany, and to ask for it to be July 8, the day of the World Cup final won by the German national team in 1990 in Rome, is a parliamentarian from Thuringia, Mario Voigt, president of the CDU of the Land. Berti Vogts, Beckenbauer's national teammate, his deputy at Italia '90 and then his successor on the bench of the 'Nationalmanschafft', has instead proposed to name the German Cup after the great champion who died yesterday Meanwhile, Karl Heinz Rummenigge's proposal for a funeral ceremony at the Bayern stadium remains standing. According to Bild, however, the will of the 'Kaiser Franz' would have been that of a private funeral. For this reason, the hypothesis is that the last goodbye was restricted to a small group of family and close friends, and at that point the ceremony at the Munich stadium would become a tribute of a different kind. Beckenbauer is expected to be buried in Munich's Perlacher Forst cemetery, next to his son Stephan, who died of cancer eight years ago when he was 46.
