NFL legend Tom Brady has ended his three-year involvement with English football club Birmingham City, stepping down from his role and parting ways with the Championship side. The departure comes while the team sits at the top of the Championship table with 29 points after 15 matches.
Birmingham City expressed sincere gratitude to Brady in an official statement, thanking him for his unwavering support and dedication over the past three years. "It has been a great privilege to have a person of Tom's experience and passion as part of the club," the statement read, noting that the club aims to build upon the established foundations.
Brady, 49, originally joined the club's ownership group in August 2023 through a partnership with American investment fund Knighthead Capital Management. He acquired a 3.3% stake in the club and was appointed chairman of a newly formed advisory board to share his extensive professional and managerial expertise.
According to reports from the British newspaper The Telegraph, Brady struggled to balance his commitments to Birmingham with his demanding role as an NFL analyst for FOX sports, prompting his exit. The report indicates he has sold his shares and stepped down from the advisory board.
Brady's tenure at St Andrew's saw notable sporting fluctuations, including relegation to League One in his first season followed by an immediate promotion back to the Championship. The club is currently leading the promotion race, ahead of rivals as they aim for a return to the Premier League.
