Tom Brady was named Thursday as the new minority owner of Birmingham City Football Club, a soccer team playing in the second league of English football.
“So here’s the deal, I’m officially coming on board at Birmingham City Football Club,” Brady said in a video announcing his investment. “And maybe you’re asking, ‘What do you know about English football, Tom?’ Well, let’s just say I’ve got a lot to learn.”
The NFL legend, 46, is making the move through a partnership with Knighthead Capital Management, an American investment company that completed a takeover of the club in July. As well as holding part-ownership of Birmingham City, Brady is also now the chair of the club’s advisory board.
