Britney Spears met with former manager, Larry Rudolph, for help on getting her music career back on track. Rudolph was the first person to discover the young star and gains credit for Spears' worldwide success.

Spears' reconciliation with Larry Rudolph could be another sign that Britney could be returning to top of her career once again.

Spears and Rudolph, who worked together for almost nine years, parted ways last year after Britney publicly ranted about Larry's management skills. The team had a roller coaster of a professional relationship that ended with Britney publicly blaming him for pressuring her to enter rehab.

Larry is credited with taking Britney from just a small-town former-Disney actor and turning her into the world famous pop star.

Jamie Spears, Britney father and co-conservator, has been an outspoken supporter of Larry. It is not known if Jamie was involved in the reunion of Britney and her former manager.

Following Britney's divorce from Kevin Federline in 2006 her parents became worried about Britney's state of mind, looking to Larry for some help which led to her stint at Promises rehab clinic.
