# Mattia Zaccagni

Mattia Zaccagni (Italian pronunciation:; born 16 June 1995) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a left winger or attacking midfielder for and captains Serie A club Lazio and the Italy national team.

## Club career

Zaccagni made his professional debut in the Lega Pro for Venezia on 10 September 2014 in a game against Südtirol.
He made his Serie A debut for Verona on 23 September 2015 as a 75th-minute substitute for Jacopo Sala in a 1–0 loss against Internazionale.
On 31 August 2021, Zaccagni completed a move from Hellas Verona to Lazio on loan with a conditional obligation to buy.
On 17 April 2024, Zaccagni signed a new contract with the Biancocelesti until 30 June 2029 worth €2.8 million per season in addition to bonuses that will take his total salary to figure closer to €3.4 million per year.
Following Ciro Immobile’s move to Besiktas ahead of the 2024-25 season, Zaccagni announced that he had been named as the new Lazio captain: "Being captain is a privilege, but it also means great responsibility. I’ll commit and give my all to the fans, team and club to honour this armband to the fullest."
In February 2025, Zaccagni revealed that his idol growing up was Juventus legend Alessandro Del Piero in an exclusive interview with Steven Moore of Canadian Serie A Broadcaster TLN TV.

## International career

Zaccagni was first called up to the senior Italy squad in November 2020. He debuted in a friendly match against Turkey on 30 March 2022.
In June 2024, Zaccagni was called up to represent Italy at UEFA Euro 2024. In their final group stage match against Croatia, he scored his first international goal with an equaliser in the last minute of stoppage time to secure a 1–1 draw and send his country through to the knockout stage by finishing second in the group. Italy were eliminated from the tournament in the round of 16 following a 2–0 loss to Switzerland.
Zaccagni was once again called up to the Azzurri by Luciano Spalletti in September 2024 for their UEFA Nations League matches against France and Israel; however, he played just four minutes in total. In the following International Break in October 2024, Zaccagni did not receive a call up which sparked some controversy, but it was later revealed that this was due to the fact that he was struggling with a back injury.
