Azamati set the national record of 9.90 seconds back in 2022, but has since stagnated in form.
The 26 year old has not broken the 10 second barrier in just over two years, something he expects to change under Bolton.
University of Southern California track and field program named John Bolton as assistant coach for sprints earlier this month.
