Beckenbauer or Pele

I was just wondering who you guys thought was a better soccer star, Beckenbauer or Pele? In my opinion Beckenbauer is better. Not only did he have a successful carrer in which he won many games, but he was also a super soccer coach. Pele was a better player, in my opinion, but he didn't contribute as much as Beckenbauer did.

Both players were great. Both won a lot of cups. I think that Beckenbauer was better because of his tactical view. Why did`nt you mention Johan Cruyff? He was the best player ever.
