In 1984, Franz Beckenbauer took over the German national football team. He had won the World Cup as a player, but he had no coaching license. The German Football Association, the DFB, named him Teamchef, team chief, rather than Bundestrainer, national coach. Rudi Völler, who later led the team, had no coaching license either. In his first spell in charge, he was listed on the official match sheet not as coach but as Teamchef.
