Tom Brady may have officially retired from the NFL, but he’s not stopping his entrepreneurial endeavors.
In his latest move, Brady became a minority owner of Birmingham City, a second-tier English soccer team.
Brady’s new title is “chairman of the advisory board”, where he will work directly with the Board and members of the club’s leadership team. The future Hall of Fame quarterback partnered with Knighthead Capital Management for the purchase.

Brady’s primary responsibilities will include advising “health, nutrition, wellness, and recovery systems” alongside the club’s sports sciences team and working on marketing efforts.
“Birmingham City is an iconic club with so much history and passion, and to be part of the Blues is a real honour for me,” Brady said in a release. “BCFC is built on teamwork and determination, and I’m excited to work alongside the board, management, and players to make our Second City club second to none. I’ve been part of some amazing teams in my day, and I’m looking forward to applying my perspective to create that same success here in Birmingham.”
