Club career

Inter Milan

Born in Gaglianico, Piedmont, Zanchetta started his professional career at Inter Milan. After working his way through the club's youth ranks, he made his first team debut in the Italian Serie A on 23 October 1994 against Foggia. That season, he played twice for Inter, both against Foggia.

Ahead of the 1995–96 Serie A season, he left for Foggia in a co-ownership deal. Zanchetta proved to me a mainstay in the line-up at his new club, making 57 league appearances in two seasons. After scoring seven goals in his second season with the club, Inter bought back the full registration rights to Zanchetta and sold him permanently to Chievo shortly after. [1]

Chievo

At Chievo, he was one of the regular starter, and scored 8 goals in the first season.

Reggina and Vicenza

After almost relegated to Serie C1, Zanchetta secured a move to Serie A strugglers Reggina in co-ownership deal. Zanchetta showed his talent in attack, scoring five goals in his second Serie A season, although Reggina was relegated. Concurrently, Chievo won Serie A promotion by finishing third, and bought back Zanchetta.

He played two league matches for Chievo in the 2001-02 Serie A season.

In summer 2001, he swapped clubs with Fabio Firmani, as both clubs co-owned the players. [2] He collected 3 goals each in the two season with Vicenza at Serie B.

Return to Chievo

In June 2003, Firmani and Zanchetta moved back to their original clubs. With Chievo, which he was awarded a new contract until June 2007 in March 2004 (along with Salvatore Lanna), [3] he failed to become the regular starter, but worked as a good backup player, for the team that had Mario Santana, Luciano, Franco Semioli and Victor Obinna in attack. He wore the number 10 shirt from 2004 to 2007, taking it over from Lorenzo D'Anna.

Due to the 2006 Italian football scandal, Chievo qualified for the 2006–07 UEFA Champions League; he played both legs in an attacking midfielder role. He also played in the 2006–07 UEFA Cup First Round both legs, as Chievo lost 2-3 on aggregate.

Lecce

In January 2007, he left for Lecce, in exchange for Giuseppe Cozzolino. [4] In the first 1+1⁄2 seasons he was the regular starter, and won Serie A promotion in 2008, but faced relegation again in 2009.

Cremonese

In July 2009, he transferred to Cremonese in the Lega Pro Prima Divisione. [5]

Personal life

Zanchetta is the father of the footballer Federico Zanchetta. [6]
