According to Italian publication La Gazzetta dello Sport, Pellegrini passed away at 8am on Saturday morning, shortly before the Champions League final.

Inter Milan In Mourning – Former Nerazzurri President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away
Inter Milan In Mourning – Former Nerazzurri President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away Former Inter Milan President Ernesto Pellegrini has passed away at the age of 84. The prominent Italian businessman was at the helm of the Nerazzurri for eleven years, between 1984 and 1995. Then, in 1984 Pellegrini took over the club entirely from Ivanoe Fraizzoli. Advertisement Ernesto Pellegrini would end up being Inter Milan President for a period of over a decade. During Pellegrini's ten years at the helm, Inter would make a number of high profile signings. He was the President who brought Germans Karl-Heinz Rummenigge, Lothar Matthaus, Andreas Brehme, and Juergen Klinsmann to the San Siro. Former Inter Milan President Ernesto Pellegrini Has Passed Away Ci ha lasciato il Presidente Ernesto Pellegrini. Per undici anni ha guidato l'Inter con saggezza, onore e determinazione, lasciando una impronta indelebile nella storia del nostro Club. FC Internazionale Milano e tutto il popolo nerazzurro si stringono attorno ai suoi familiari The height of Pellegrini's time as Inter President was undoubtedly the 1988-89 season. That campaign saw the Nerazzurri win the Serie A title with a then-record points total under Giovanni Trapattoni. That season remains the most points that any team has taken in a single Serie A season prior to the three-points-for-a-win era. Advertisement Inter also won the UEFA Cup twice during Pellegrini's presidency. The Nerazzurri won that continental competition during the 1990-91 and 1993-94 seasons. In 1995, Pellegrini would sell Inter Milan to Massimo Moratti, the son of another former Nerazzurri President Angelo Moratti. Moratti would go on to have his own ups and downs at Inter, culminating in the 2009-10 Treble.
