NFL legend Tom Brady has ended his association with Championship side Birmingham City.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion became a minority owner of the St Andrew’s club in August 2023 when he “entered into partnership” with club owners Knighthead Capital Management LLC.
Part of Brady’s role involved him being chairman of an advisory board at Birmingham, with the club saying he would “invest (and) dedicate his time and extensive expertise” following his arrival.
However, the Blues announced his exit, external with a statement titled “Tom Brady Leaving.”
They added: “Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement and unwavering support of the club over the past three years.
“It was truly incredible to have someone with Tom’s experience and passion associated with the club, and the club looks forward to continuing to build on this foundation, from the training ground to the Birmingham community.”
Former quarterback Brady, a three-time NFL Most Valuable Player, retired in February 2023 after 23 seasons in the NFL, having won six of his Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
After his playing career ended, he also acquired an ownership interest in the Las Vegas Raiders, while also becoming a member of the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces ownership group.
In addition to this, Brady’s commitments also include being the lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports.
He leaves with Birmingham leading the championship on goal difference with 29 points after 15 matches.
