Maignan and Buffon embrace as Allegri and Gattuso watch on at Milanello – pictures

This afternoon, AC Milan had a special guest at Milanello; that, of course, was Gennaro Gattuso, who brought some familiar faces with him.

As reported this morning, Gattuso has been touring Italian clubs and visiting their training grounds, and a return home was on the list this morning. Joined by former Rossonero Leonardo Bonucci and Luigi Riccio, the Italian head coach was seen arriving at Milanello in the middle of the morning.

It is likely his visit will just be to see Italian players at the training ground, and also to see what is effective in different training camps. However, it also offers a chance to reminisce.

Milan have posted a few images of his visit this afternoon, with Mike Maignan also seen joking with Gianluigi Buffon.
