[Official] Zaccagni Named Sofascore’s Serie A Player Of The Season 2024/25

Lazio captain Mattia Zaccagni has been crowned Serie A Player of the Season by the live scores and statistics platform Sofascore. The award, given solely on statistical performance across the campaign, highlights the winger’s consistency and leadership throughout the 2024/2025 season.

Zaccagni earned the recognition with an impressive average rating of 7.34, a figure calculated from hundreds of data points including passing accuracy, goals, assists, and overall contributions on the field. He finished ahead of Italy international Mateo Retegui and Atalanta’s Ademola Lookman to take home the trophy.

Speaking at the award ceremony, Zaccagni expressed his gratitude:

“Thank you to all my friends and the Sofascore fans for this recognition. I’m honored to receive this award and to have achieved these fantastic statistics. I hope to continue like this and win it again next year, or at least keep the award inside our locker room. I thank my teammates, the club, and the coach who allowed me to achieve these numbers.”

Following the award, Sofascore posted the line “Earned on the pitch, not in the jury room” on social media, a message that Zaccagni himself liked. The statement underlined his belief that true value comes from performances on the field rather than external opinions. It was a message that reflected both his competitive spirit and his professionalism.

Last season, Lazio relied on a strong mix of experience and quality. Veterans like Pedro and Vecino offered balance, but Zaccagni stood out as the team’s spark in attack, providing creativity and energy crucial to Sarri’s system. His award is not only proof of his personal excellence but also recognition of his role as a leader and cornerstone in the squad.

With this award, Zaccagni has confirmed himself as one of the most important players in Serie A. His performances have elevated him beyond being just a reliable winger; he is now seen as a technical leader, a captain on and off the pitch, and the player who best represents Lazio’s ambitions moving forward.
