On 22 June 2012, Lecce announced from their website to have acquired the full transfer rights of Mazzotta.

He successively moved back to hometown club Palermo for the 2018–19 Serie B campaign.

Following Palermo’s exclusion from the Serie B, he was released together with all other players on July 2019.

On 19 August 2019, he returned to Crotone on an one-year deal.
