On 25 August 2012, Zambrano terminated his contract with Recre and signed for Villarreal CF B in the same league.[2] On 17 July of the following year he moved to another reserve team, Sporting de Gijón B from Segunda División B.[3]

On 18 August 2014, Zambrano joined CD San Roque de Lepe also in the third tier.[4] On 16 July of the following year, he returned to his first club Recreativo after agreeing to a two-year deal.[5]

Zambrano left the Estadio Nuevo Colombino in the summer of 2018, signing with division three team CD Don Benito.[6]

Zambrano's father and uncle, respectively Manuel and Antonio, were also footballers. They too represented Recreativo professionally; during his spell there, the former also acted as the club's president.[7] [8]
