[8] Among the defenders of Lega Pro who were born in 1991 or after, Francesco had the fourth highest average score of 6.24/10 ranked by La Gazzetta dello Sport , and was the best Lega Pro defender born in the 1993 age group. [9] In June 2012, Sampdoria failed to buy back Alberto Masi and Francesco Zampano, both due to failing to give the highest price in a sealed bid to Lega Serie B. [10] A.Masi and F.Zampano were the teammates who represented the team of Lega Pro.
During summer 2013 he moved to Verona, and then became on loan to Juve Stabia.

On 16 August 2018, Zampano joined to Serie A team Frosinone on loan until 30 June 2019 with an obligation to buy. [13]
