Tom Brady has given up his minority share in Birmingham City, the English Championship club announced on Monday. The seven-time Super Bowl winner had held the stake since 2023, when he joined the Knighthead group's takeover of the club, led by his friend and business partner Tom Wagner.
Brady's exit comes despite Birmingham's rise to the top of the Championship standings on Saturday following a 2-1 win over Swansea.
In a statement, Birmingham City thanked Brady for his contribution. "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," the club said. "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."
Birmingham has set out ambitious goals both on and off the pitch. Wagner has previously indicated a desire to see the club reach the Premier League, and plans are in place for a new 62,000-capacity stadium in the city.
Brady, who won Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also holds a stake in the NFL's Las Vegas Raiders and works as a television commentator for Fox Sports.
