NFL icon Tom Brady has officially severed ties with Birmingham City, the Championship club announced on Wednesday. The seven-time Super Bowl champion had been a minority owner since August 2023, when he partnered with Knighthead Capital Management LLC, the club's majority owners.
\nDuring his tenure, Brady served as chairman of an advisory board, with the club stating he would invest and commit his time and expertise. However, the Blues confirmed his departure in a statement titled 'Tom Brady departure'.
\nBirmingham City expressed gratitude for Brady's involvement and support over the past three years, acknowledging the value of his experience and passion. The club looks forward to building on the foundation he helped establish, from the training ground to the community.
\nA Legendary Career
\nBrady retired from professional football in February 2023 after 23 seasons, having won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and one with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. A three-time NFL MVP, he is widely regarded as one of the greatest quarterbacks in history.
\nSince retiring, Brady has kept busy with various ventures. He acquired a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and joined the ownership group of the WNBA's Las Vegas Aces. He also serves as a lead NFL analyst for Fox Sports.
\nBirmingham's Strong Position
\nBrady's exit comes as Birmingham City sit atop the Championship table on goal difference, with 29 points from 15 games. The club's performances have been impressive, and they will aim to maintain their momentum without Brady's advisory input.
\nWhile Brady's departure marks the end of an era, his brief involvement brought global attention to Birmingham City. The club now looks to the future, focused on securing promotion to the Premier League.
