TOM BRADY has relinquished his minority share in Championship leaders Birmingham, the club have confirmed.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner bought a stake in the club as part of the 2023 takeover by the Knighthead group, headed by his friend and business partner Tom Wagner.
But Brady has chosen to step away despite Blues moving to the top of the table three days ago with a 2-1 win over Swansea at St Andrew’s.
The club said in a statement: “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.”

Birmingham have expressed big ambitions on and off the pitch. Wagner has indicated his desire to reach the Premier League, while plans are in place for a new 62,000-capacity stadium in the city.
The club's rise reflects the increasing profile of Championship ownership projects, with Wrexham - owned by Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob Mac - among those helping to shine a spotlight on the division.
Brady, who won Super Bowl titles with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers, also holds a stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, and works as a colour commentator for the Fox Sports network.
