Early career

[edit | edit source]

Zappa was born in Brescia, Italy. He began his professional career in the youth teams of local Lombardy club Lumezzane.[citation needed] In 2011, he was transferred to AlbinoLeffe,[citation needed] again in the youth sector.[2] In 2013, he completed a transfer to Portuguese club S.C. Beira-Mar, before returning to Italy less than a year later to sign with Sassuolo[3][4] for a fee of €220,000.[5] After impressing[according to whom?] for the youth sides, reigning Serie A champions Juventus made an approach for Zappa, initially signing him to a 6-month loan in February 2015.[6] Zappa was also suspended for 45 days in 2015 due to the irregular transfer to Portugal.[7] AlbinoLeffe also appealed to the Court of Arbitration for Sport in order to recover part of the transfer fee.[8]

Juventus

[edit | edit source]

Juventus signed Zappa on loan in February 2015,[6] for a loan fee of €200,000.[9] He impressed[according to whom?] coach Fabio Grosso and was generally the starting left-back for the Primavera side, playing in the Campionato Nazionale Primavera,[failed verification] 2015–16 UEFA Youth League,[failed verification] Supercoppa Primavera[failed verification] and Torneo di Viareggio.[failed verification][6] In June 2015 Juventus signed Zappa in a definitive deal for an additional fee of €1.5 million.[9][10]

On 22 July 2016, Juventus confirmed that they had loaned Zappa to Lega Pro side Pontedera.[11] He made his debut for the club in a 3–1 Loss to Foggia Calcio in the first round of the Coppa Italia, on 31 July 2016.[12] Zappa's league debut came on 18 September 2016, playing 74 minutes against Racing Roma, after being listed on the bench for the previous two games against Olbia 1905 and Pistoiese.[13] On 16 January 2017, Zappa was recalled from Pontedera by Juventus, and the following day was sent out on loan again, this time to Pordenone until 30 June 2017.[14]

On 19 July 2017 Zappa was signed by Pistoiese.[15]

On 31 January 2019 he joined Novara on loan until the end of the 2018–19 season.[16]
