Massimiliano Allegri had the proud honour of being an official torch bear for the Milan-Cortina 2026 Winter Olympics.
The Olympic Flame continues its journey ahead of the Winter Olympics which start soon on February 6th and run until the 22nd, something which has already caused logistical issues for Milan surrounding the Como home game given the opening ceremony is at San Siro.

It was confirmed recently that the Milan head coach Massimiliano Allegri had been selected as one of the lucky people who get to carry the flame, and he appeared visibly moved this morning, as MilanNews recall.
Allegri carried it briefly through the streets of Borgomanero, a small city in the Province of Novara in the Italian region of Piedmont. He had said a few days ago: “I’m delighted with the Olympic flame; it will be a thrill and a wonderful experience. I thank CONI for giving me this opportunity.”
