Mattia Zaccagni (Italian pronunciation: [matˈtiːa ddzakˈkaɲɲi]; born 16 June 1995) is an Italian professional footballer who plays as a left winger or attacking midfielder for Serie A club Lazio, whom he captains, 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.[1]

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.[2]

On 31 August 2021, Zaccagni completed a move from Hellas Verona to Lazio on loan with a conditional obligation to buy.[3]

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.[4]

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."[5]

In February 2025, Zaccagni revealed his idol growing up was former Juventus forward Alessandro Del Piero.[6]

International career

Zaccagni was first called up to the senior Italy squad in November 2020.[7] He debuted in a friendly match against Turkey on 30 March 2022.[8]

In June 2024, Zaccagni was called up to represent Italy at UEFA Euro 2024.[9] 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.[10][11] Italy were eliminated from the tournament in the round of 16 following a 2–0 loss to Switzerland.[12]

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.[13] 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.[14]
