Former NFL star Tom Brady has stepped down from his role at Championship side Birmingham City. The club announced this on Monday.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion had been an investor at Birmingham since the summer of 2023, but after three years the partnership has now come to an end, as the current leaders of the English Championship announced in a statement.
“Birmingham City Football Club would like to express its sincere thanks to Tom Brady for his commitment and unwavering support of the club over the past three years”, reads an official statement on the club’s website. “It has been truly wonderful to have someone with Tom’s experience and passion associated with the club. The club looks forward to building on this foundation, from the training ground right through to the community in Birmingham.”
Birmingham on course for the Premier League
The English second-tier side is currently heading straight for its first return to the Premier League since 2011. Birmingham finished last season in 10th place, but has emerged this season as one of the top contenders for promotion. The club is level on points with Middlesbrough and Stoke City at the top of the Championship table, leading the way on goal difference.
