"I would like to accept the challenge once again. I'm looking forward to the future", the 48-year-old says. He states that he likes Olten and the organization and their promotion ambitions. Reaching the Swiss League finals was a wake-up call to their opponents that Olten can reach that goal. They are going to build on that and improve until they are ready.

Bartolone has been with Olten for two years. Before coming to Switzerland, he was assistant coach for Drakkar de Baie-Comeau in the Canadian QMJHL.
