Where does the “Keep Halm” meme come from?

Massimiliano Allegri, born in Livorno in 1967, has coached Cagliari, Juventus twice and AC Milan during the 2025-2026 season, before moving on to Napoli. His thick Tuscan accent turns his pronunciation of “calma” into a recognizable “Halma,” clipped from numerous tense press-conference videos after difficult matches during his Milan spell. The word spread online as a nod to his own temper, since the coach sometimes loses his patience while saying it.
