BIRMINGHAM, England (AP) — NFL great Tom Brady has become a minority owner of the English second-tier soccer team Birmingham and wants to bring a winning mentality to an underperforming club.
The seven-time Super Bowl champion has partnered with the club’s U.S.-based holding company and becomes chairman of a new advisory board. Brady has also partnered with Knighthead Capital on several other ventures.
Birmingham last played in the Premier League in 2011. That was also the year it won the English League Cup, one of two major trophies the club has captured in its 148-year history.
Brady won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and another with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers in 2021.
