Inter Milan Mourning Before Champions League Final After Death of Former Club President Pellegrini

Ernesto Pellegrini, former Inter Milan president from 1984 to 1995, died aged 84 on the day the club played the 2025 Champions League final in Munich against Paris Saint-Germain.
Pellegrini rose from catering to football leadership, joining Inter’s board in 1979 and becoming its 17th president after writing to then-chairman Ivanoe Fraizzoli to join the club.
Over his 11 years as president, Pellegrini acquired prominent German talents such as Rummenigge, Matthäus, Brehme, and Klinsmann, guiding Inter to a Serie A championship and two UEFA Cup victories.
Inter described Pellegrini’s tenure as characterized by "wisdom, honour and determination," and planned to pay tribute to him by sporting black armbands in the Champions League final.
Pellegrini’s death overshadowed one of Inter’s biggest nights as they pursued their fourth Champions League title and paid tribute to his lasting impact on the club’s history.
