Pierre Zebli (born 12 June 1997) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for Azerbaijan Premier League club Zira as a defensive midfielder.
Zebli is a youth product of AC Bastia and then Inter Milan.[2] He made his professional debut for Perugia on loan from Inter, in a 2–0 Serie B win over Bari.[3] He formally signed for Perugia in August 2015.[4]
After a couple successful seasons with Perugia, Zebli arrived to Genk on 31 January 2017.[5]
On 7 August 2018, after no appearances in the Belgian league for Genk, he returned to Italy, joining Serie B club Ascoli on a season-long loan. Ascoli held the option of permanent transfer at the end of the loan.[6] On 25 January 2019, Ascoli terminated the loan contract early as Zebli was recovering from two eye surgeries performed to correct detached retina.[7]
In January 2022 he joined Bulgarian team Tsarsko Selo.[8] In June 2022 he signed a three-year contract with another Bulgarian team - Lokomotiv Plovdiv.[9] On 1 August 2023, Zebli became part of the ranks of Azerbaijani team Zira, signing a 2+1 year deal.[10]
Zebli was born in Ivory Coast, and moved to Italy at a young age with his father. Zebli holds both Ivorian and Italian citizenship.[11] He represented the Italy under-21 Serie B representative team in a 4–0 loss to Iran.[12]
Zebli debuted for the Ivory Coast national under-20 football team in a 3–2 win over Qatar U20 on 21 March 2016.[13] [14] [15]
