Birmingham City is one of the oldest clubs in the world, having been founded in 1875 and is named after one of the main cities in England. However, in all this time, the team never won an English Championship and its most relevant title was in the 2010/11 season, in which it won the League Cup, but ended up relegated from the Premier League. Since then, he has never returned to the country’s football elite.

Tom Brady has been retired since February of this year. At 45 years old, the athlete is the record holder for Super Bowl titles, having won seven in total. To give you an idea, not even an entire NFL team has more titles than the former quarterback.

Birmingham said Tom Brady will lend his experience to the club, working as a consultant to scientific departments. “As chair of the Advisory Board, Brady will apply his extensive experience and leadership expertise across multiple components of the club, including working alongside the sports science department to advise on health, nutrition, wellness and recovery systems and programs. Additionally, Brady will work closely with the Board and management team on global marketing efforts and identifying new commercial partnership opportunities for the club.”said the club, in an official note.
