Pierre Zebli (born 12 June 1997) is an Ivorian professional footballer who plays for Azerbaijan Premier League club Zira as a defensive midfielder.

Career

Zebli is a youth product of AC Bastia and then Inter Milan. He made his professional debut for Perugia on loan from Inter, in a 2–0 Serie B win over Bari. He formally signed for Perugia in August 2015.

After a couple successful seasons with Perugia, Zebli arrived to Genk on 31 January 2017.

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. On 25 January 2019, Ascoli terminated the loan contract early as Zebli was recovering from two eye surgeries performed to correct detached retina.

In January 2022 he joined Bulgarian team Tsarsko Selo. In June 2022 he signed a three-year contract with another Bulgarian team - Lokomotiv Plovdiv. On 1 August 2023, Zebli became part of the ranks of Azerbaijani team Zira, signing a 2+1 year deal.

International career

Zebli was born in Ivory Coast, and moved to Italy at a young age with his father. Zebli holds both Ivorian and Italian citizenship. He represented the Italy under-21 Serie B representative team in a 4–0 loss to Iran.

Zebli debuted for the Ivory Coast national under-20 football team in a 3–2 win over Qatar U20 on 21 March 2016.
