Tom Brady: NFL superstar becomes minority owner of EFL Championship side Birmingham City

NFL legend and seven-time Super Bowl champion, Tom Brady, has made an unexpected move into football (soccer), becoming a minority owner of Championship side Birmingham City. The 46-year-old, who retired from the NFL in February, has teamed up with Knighthead Capital Management LLC, the new owners of Birmingham City, in what they call a "partnership."

Brady's involvement doesn't stop at ownership; he will also assume the role of chairman of a new advisory board at St Andrew's, signaling his commitment to the club.

Knighthead co-founder, Tom Wagner, expressed excitement about Brady's association with Birmingham City, stating that it is a clear signal of their intent to achieve excellence and set the bar at a world-class level.

As Birmingham City gears up for the new Championship season, they will have Brady's influence and expertise behind them. Last season, they finished 17th in the Championship, but with Brady's support and the new ownership, the team is aiming for a brighter future.

This partnership between a football club and an NFL legend is likely to attract considerable attention from fans and sports enthusiasts alike.
