Eric Olhats is set to rejoin the Atletico Madrid staff.

Rennes have announced Olhats will return to Atletico as part of their scouting team.

Olhats had been part of the French club's recruitment infrastructure for just three months, however he'll now head to Madrid to help Los Colchoneros in the same department.

"Follow a request from Atletico Madrid, and in agreement with Stade Rennes, Eric Olhats will resume his work with the Spanish club, starting this week," a Rennes club statement read.

"Stade Rennes would like to thank Eric for his work and contributions to the results we've obtained during the period in which he worked for the club."
