In January 2008 he was sold to Fiorentina in co-ownership deal, where he spent half season in its Primavera team.[3] In July he left for Pro Patria.[4][5] In June 2009 Pescara bought back Zappacosta.[6] Zappacosta played 17 times in 2009–10 Lega Pro Prima Divisione, winning the promotion playoffs. However he did not made any appearances in 2010–11 Serie B.

In the summer of 2012, he joined Lega Pro Prima Divisione side Lecce following their relegation from the Serie A and subsequent expulsion from the Serie B.
