Club career

Early career

Born in Sora, Lazio, Zappacosta joined hometown's Sora's youth setup in 1998, aged six, as a forward.[2] In 2008 he moved to neighbouring Isola Liri, appearing in Campionato Nazionale Dante Berretti under-20's,[3] and made his senior debut for the side in the 2009–10 campaign; obtaining a total of 14 caps and one goal in the league.

Avellino

In January 2011 Zappacosta joined Atalanta in co-ownership deal[4] and played for the Primavera for six months. He appeared during the pre-season with the main squad.[5][6] In summer 2011, at age 19, he transferred to Avellino in co-ownership,[7] with whom he played for two seasons in Lega Pro Prima Divisione, winning the championship in the 2012–13 season and the Supercoppa Lega Pro. After promotion to Serie B he decided to tattoo the date "05.05.2013".[8] The following year he scored a debut goal in Serie B in the match won 2–1 against Novara, standing out as one of the best full-backs in the league.

Return to Atalanta

On 4 June 2014 Zappacosta returned to Atalanta, signing a four-year deal.[9] He made his official debut with Atalanta on 23 August 2014 against Pisa in a 2–0 win in the third qualifying round of the Coppa Italia. On 31 August 2014 Zappacosta made his debut in Serie A, starting in a 0–0 home draw against Verona. On 6 January 2015 he scored his first Serie A goal in a 2–2 draw to Genoa; repeated the following week against Chievo in Bergamo.

Torino

On 10 July 2015 he was sold to Torino, in the same transfer that brought the midfielder Daniele Baselli to Piedmont, for a total of approximately €10 million.[citation needed] He scored his first goal for the club on 28 October during a 3–3 draw at home to Genoa.

International career

During his period in Irpinia, he made his debut with the Italy under-21 on 5 September 2013 in a 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship qualifier match against Belgium, lost 3–1.

He took part in the 2015 UEFA European Under-21 Championship in the Czech Republic, playing as a starter in the right full-back position in all three games disputed by Italy, who were eliminated in the group stage.

In May 2016 Zappacosta was called up to the senior national team by coach Antonio Conte in preparation for the UEFA Euro 2016. He was subsequently included in the list of 30 provisional players for the tournament.[10] On 31 May, he was named one of three reserves for the senior side for Euro 2016.[11]
