Tom Brady has officially ended his relationship with Birmingham City after three years as a minority owner at St Andrew’s.
The 49-year-old NFL icon departs despite the Blues moving to the summit of the Championship table following Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Swansea City.
Brady’s departure was confirmed by the Midlands outfit on Monday. The seven-time Super Bowl champion relinquished his 3.3 per cent shareholding alongside his position as chairman of the club’s advisory board.
The former quarterback originally joined forces with friend and business partner Tom Wagner during the August 2023 takeover led by Knighthead Capital Management LLC. That investment arrived just six months after he retired from a 23-season playing career in February 2023.

Confirming his exit in an official statement, the Blues said: “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.
”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.”
Despite the changes off the field, Birmingham enter the November international break sitting top of the Championship on goal difference with 29 points from 15 matches.
Majority chief Wagner remains determined to guide the club back into the Premier League as they look to build on their strong domestic momentum.
The club have also laid down long-term plans to construct a new 62,000-capacity stadium in the city.
