NFL legend Tom Brady leaves Birmingham City role

NFL legend Tom Brady (pictured) has ended his association with Birmingham City, the club has announced.

In a statement on the club’s official website, Blues said: “Birmingham City Football Club expresses its sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement with and unwavering support for the club over the last three years.

"It was truly amazing to have someone with Tom's experience and passion associated with the club, and the club looks forward to continuing to build on that foundation from the training ground to the Birmingham community.”

The record seven-time Super Bowl champion became a minority owner at Blues in August 2023 following the club’s takeover by US investors Knighthead Capital Management LLC.

Brady’s role involved chairing an advisory board, while he also starred in the Amazon Prime documentary ‘Built In Birmingham: Brady and The Blues’.

Birmingham City are currently top of the EFL Championship – English football’s second tier – on goal difference with 29 points after 15 games.
