Though Zanetti is more often classified as a defender, he has played in the midfield for most of the first half of the 2008-09 season. For the last several weeks of October 2008, with Portuguese coach Jos? Mourinho facing a midfield crisis due to injuries to key midfielders Esteban Cambiasso and Sulley Muntari, he was moved again to the midfield for the matches against Genoa and Fiorentina. Since then, Mourinho has played him in the midfield due to the preference of Maicon, L?cio, W?lter Samuel, and Cristian Chivu in the back four.

The 2009-10 season began well for Zanetti and Inter, especially after a 4-0 thrashing of crosstown rivals in the Milan derby. In the 17 October match against Genoa, he started off the counterattack that led to Inter's second goal after dispossessing a Genoa player. Inter became the first team of the season to win by a 5-goal margin. On 24 October, he reached Giacinto Facchetti 's record of 476 Serie A appearances when he turned out for the match against Catania, which ended in a 2-1 win for theNerazzurri. He also currently holds a club record of 149 consecutive appearances.

Inter won the 2010 Champions League Final against Bayern Munich on 22 May 2010, Zanetti's 700th appearance for Internazionale.
