Tom Brady has parted ways with Birmingham City after three years as a minority investor, the English Championship club announced on Tuesday.

The 49-year-old former NFL quarterback joined the club in August 2023, also serving as chairman of its new advisory board. Birmingham City did not give a reason for his departure and did not say what will happen to his stake.

In a statement, the club said: “Birmingham City Football Club expresses sincere gratitude to Tom Brady for his involvement and unwavering support over the past three years. It has been truly incredible to have someone with Tom’s experience and passion connected to our club. We look forward to continuing to build on that foundation, from the training ground to the Birmingham community.”

Brady, widely regarded as the greatest quarterback of all time, played 23 seasons in the NFL. He spent 20 years with the New England Patriots and his final three seasons with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, winning seven Super Bowl titles.

Since retiring from playing, Brady has invested in several sports teams. He holds minority stakes in the NFL’s Las Vegas Raiders and the WNBA’s Las Vegas Aces, alongside his now-ended involvement with Birmingham City.

Birmingham City currently compete in the Championship, England’s second tier. The club has not commented further on the ownership change or any potential replacement for Brady on its advisory board.
