He left Bologna in 2004 to join his former coach Guidolin in Palermo. After a season spent in Germany at VfL Wolfsburg,^[3] in August 2009 he rejoined his former coach Guidolin at Parma F.C. ^[4] He signed a 3 years deal with A.C Milan on 24/01/2013 !

International career

He was part of the Italian squad who won the 2006 FIFA World Cup. Zaccardo made three appearances in the competition, scoring an own goal off an attempted clearance in the second azzurri match, a 1–1 draw against the United States. He has been overlooked for national team selection in tournament competitions ever since.
