Tom Brady has departed Birmingham City, the Championship club confirmed, thanking the NFL legend for his "unwavering support." Brady became a minority owner and chairman of an advisory board in August 2023 alongside Knighthead Capital Management LLC, led by his friend Tom Wagner. During his tenure, the club hired and sacked Wayne Rooney as head coach within 83 days, suffered relegation to League One, but quickly returned to the Championship. Birmingham now sits top of the Championship table with 29 points after 15 games, following a 2-1 win over Swansea.
The club expressed gratitude for Brady’s involvement, highlighting his experience and passion. Wagner aims for Premier League promotion, with plans for a new 62,000-seat stadium. Brady, a seven-time Super Bowl champion with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also holds a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders and works as a Fox Sports commentator.
