in Mexico. However, he did not experience the same form he had in Chile and in 1995 returned to Chile to sign for Colo-Colo's rival Universidad Católica
. His time here was even shorter. In a game against his old team, Colo-Colo, Barticciotto scored the lone goal of the match which eliminated Colo-Colo from the Copa Libertadores tournament of the same year. Before the game, Barticciotto had stated in an interview that he did not want to score a goal against his former team but wanted to play a very good game. Therefore when he scored the goal he did not celebrate it. Afterwards he reiterated that he wished he did not score the goal. Of course there was backlash from these comments and his actions and this ultimately led to his dismissal from the team.
In 1996, Barticciotto made his return to Colo-Colo. He regained his form and was an important part of the reason that Colo-Colo would win three straight championships from 1996-1998. In his final season, 2002, Colo-Colo would go on to win his seventh championship but was not a fixture in the starting line-up for most of the season.

During the 2008 Clausura and with the resignation of Colo-Colo manager Fernando Astengo as the team was tied for first place in the table, Barticciotto was signed on to direct the team. In the first game with Baricciotto as coach Colo-Colo went on to defeat Santiago Morning 2-1 with 2 goals from Lucas Barrios with one being done by bicycle kick
. Colo-Colo went on to lose the two following games which in turn earned Barticiotto criticism from both the press and fans alike. The turning point was a 2-0 victory against rivals Universidad de Chile. Barticiotto and Colo-Colo went on to the play-offs and obtain the 2008 Clausura championship and qualify for the Copa Libertadores 2009
