Tom Brady exits Birmingham City ownership stake
NFL legend Tom Brady has ended his involvement with English soccer club Birmingham City, according to an official club statement. Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl winner, held a 3.3% minority stake in the club and served as the chairman of its advisory board.
His departure comes as Birmingham City currently sits at the top of the Championship standings following a 2-1 victory over Swansea City. Brady originally joined the club in August 2023 as part of a takeover led by the US investment firm Knighthead Capital Management, headed by Tom Wagner.
The club expressed its gratitude for his support over the last three years, noting his experience and passion were valuable to the organization. The club did not provide specific reasons for his exit or details regarding the future of his shares. During his tenure, the club experienced significant fluctuations, including relegation to League One in the 2023-24 season before returning to the Championship.
