Tom Brady steps down at club of Austrian player

NFL legend Tom Brady is stepping back from English football. The seven-time Super Bowl champion has ended his involvement as a minority investor at Birmingham City, the second-tier club announced on Monday evening.

The now 49-year-old had joined the traditional club in August 2023 through a partnership with US investment firm Knighthead Capital Management. Alongside his financial stake, Brady also took on the role of chairman of an advisory board.

Birmingham provided no details regarding the reasons for the exit. The club thanked Brady for his commitment and support over the past three years.

On the pitch, things are currently going brilliantly for the club. The team led by Austrian international and captain Christoph Klarer (26) tops the Championship after 15 matchdays with 29 points.

The main goal remains a return to the Premier League, where Birmingham last featured in 2011.
